Abstract :
On Thursday, February 15, several hundred members and guests of the convention visited the publishing plant of the McGraw-Hill Company, where a buffet luncheon was served, followed by an inspection trip through this company´s large and well-equipped publishing plant. The visitors were transported from the headquarters of the Institute to the McGraw-Hill plant at 10th Ave. and 36th St., by means of busses. They assembled on the 12th floor, where after a brief address of welcome by a representative of the company, luncheon was served. The party was divided into different groups of about a dozen each, and each group was in charge of a guide who conducted it through every part of the plant, including the business, editorial and art department and through the mechanical department, which includes printing, binding and mailing. The visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and the visitors were brought back to the Engineering Societies Building just in time for the afternoon session.
