Abstract :
Some 134 people, including representatives of many rubber and plastics manufacturing companies as well as equipment manufacturers, attended the AIEE conference on electrical engineering problems in the rubber and plastics industries which was held in the auditorium of the M. O´Neil Company´s department store in Akron, Ohio, April 20, 1948.
