Second AIEE-IRE-NBS conference on high-frequency measurements held

That the radio-frequency portion of the spectrum is in a state of expansion was evidenced at the second conference on High Frequency Measurements held in Washington, D. C, January 10–12, 1951, which was attended by 549 engineers from all parts of this country and Canada. The technical program consisted of four sessions on different categories of measurements and an evening demonstration session together with inspection trips during the day. This conference was held in Washington as a part of the Semicentennial celebration of the National Bureau of Standards. The Joint AIEE-Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) Committee on High Frequency Measurements, the AIEE Committee on Instruments and Measurements, the IRE Professional Group on Instrumentation, and the National Bureau of Standards co-operated in organizing the conference.
