tady plant.
Only about half of the group
remained in Schenectady for the
field training while the other half
went to other major G-E plants.
The professors will return to
Schenectady for the final week
of the conference to recapitulate
work done. This period will give
each professor an opportunity to
hear all problems encountered
anfi the respective solutions
worked out. Also during the final
week, representatives of the com
pany and the professors will dis
