Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Vol. XXVIII

The Twenty-seventh Annual Meeting of the Society was held the firstt week in December 1906. The headquarters at 12 West 31st Street being inadequate for the anticipated attendance, the generous offer of the New York Edison Company of the use of its auditorium and reading room was accepted, and the meeting was held here this year, as was also the Annual Meeting of 1905.
