About this issue

The twelve papers in this issue range widely over several subjects — all significant influences on how well we communicate our engineering and research knowledge. These papers have been selected from the presentations given at the IRE Conference on Technical-Scientific Communications that PGEWS sponsored in Philadelphia in September 1961. That Conference is history. But, the ideas in these papers are as vital and important today as they ever were — perhaps more so, as PGEWS must look to a future where a burgeoning electronics technology promises more difficult and complex problems in communicating its knowledge, not easier ones.
