Abstract :
Marking the founding of the Society in 1906, the Twentieth Anniversary Convention of the Illuminating Engineering Society will be held at Spring Lake, New Jersey, September 7th to 10th inclusive, when the great advances and developments which have been made during the past 20 years in this special field of Engineering activity will be fittingly observed. A program of diversified and comprehensive papers on subjects of great practical interest has been arranged by the Committee in charge. One special feature of the program particularly appropriate at this time will be a session devoted to developments in the art of illumination which have taken place during this twenty-year period. Another session will be of interest to central-station lighting men and devoted to the presentation and discussion of the Lighting Sales Manual, prepared by a joint committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society and the National Electric Light Association. The manual outlines methods found most efficient by some of the leading illuminating engineers of the country in promoting good lighting by central stations. Centralstation lighting men from the leading public utilities are to be invited to discuss the manual and promote its adoption and use.
