Abstract :
As publicized in PGPT-2, on 19 March 1957, one of the two special evening Symposia at the IRE National Convention was devoted to the theme: MICRO-MINIATURIZATION - The Ultimate Technique." The following six invited speakers, recognized national authorities in their field, contributed: C. Rrunetti, E.F. Carter, H.A. Stone, Jr., Brig. Gen. E.R. Petzing (ret.), J.R. Moore, and W.Y. Hamilton. Reprints of these talks were published in Part 6 of the 1957 IRE National Convention Record. For the purpose of this "bull session," the following represents quotations from the above talks, which have been freely assembled to emphasize the case in point. Editorial manipulation is noted, and proper credit is given.
