Preliminary plans progress for Summer general meeting in Mexico city

Plans currently under way for the 1948 summer general meeting in Mexico City, June 21–25, give all indication that this year´s meeting will be long remembered, both for the interest of its technical program, and for its colorful and picturesque meeting site. Not only are the problems of a country undergoing industrialization of great technical interest, which will provide material for lively technical sessions and a variety of inspection trips, but every opportunity will be provided to take advantage of Mexico´s facilities for sightseeing and recreation, to make the summer meeting an exciting vacation. In relation to plans for the meeting, as reported elsewhere in these pages, C. S. Purnell, chairman of the AIEE special meeting committee, recently spent a week in Mexico City in direct conference with the local general meeting committee there, working out many of the administrative and operational details in preliminary to the summer meeting.
