Excerpt from General Electric Review, 1913, Vol. 16This, in brief, is the ground which will be covered, and at this time it is not necessary to deal with the separate items of the agenda in any greater detail. At this time, however, it emphatically is' necessary 'to advertise thoroughly the fact that such business is toward, and to impress 'on all interested parties the fact that these questions of ratings, standards, temperature limits and measure ments, and so on, are really vital questions which must receive adequate discussion, that there is now an opportunity for adequate discussion Which cannot, in the nature of things, recur for several years, and that any hasty formulation of rules, as has already been abundantly proved by past Institute experience. Is capable of more harm than good, is frequently productive of doubt and confusion, and at best can only be an imade quate method of meeting the present needs for revision. The invitation to contribute is a wide-open one, and the circular which has been sent to all the members gives a pretty good idea of the subjects upon which opinion is required. If, rnembers with something to say have no time to prepare papers, or no facilities for obtaining the data upon which good constructive criticism of existing rules and methods can be based, let them content themselves for the present with marking up the date of the convention, let them make arrangements now for being in. New York on the 26th of February next, let them formulate their opinions now so. That, when they receive their copies of the papers, they may, as far as possible, be ready with some helpful discussion, which contributions can then, be distributed before the convention date.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
