Engineering aspects of magnetohydrodynamics

The progress, or lack of progress in some cases, which is being made toward the practical utilization of magnetohydrodynamics was the subject of an all‐inclusive meeting with the rather lengthy title of “Symposium on the Engineering Aspects of Magnetohydrodynamics”. The gathering, which was sponsored by the Basic Sciences Committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, had the advantage of using the auditorium of the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. This auditorium was large, the seats were comfortable, free parking was available, and the acoustics and visibility were far superior to that of many recent meetings this writer has attended. The arrangements committee, under R. M. Showers, is to be congratulated. We hope this auditorium is used more often in the future.
