Ultrasonics: A report on the 1963 symposium

JUN 01, 1964
J. J. G. McCue

The Ultrasonics Symposium seems now to be well established as an annual affair. The 1963 event, held on December 4, 5, and 6, at the Marriott Motor Hotel in Arlington, Va., fully met the high standard set in the previous year. These symposiums, of which the first was held in 1958, are sponsored by the IEEE Professional Technical Group on Sonics and Ultrasonics, which owes its unwieldy name partly to the merger of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers with the Institute of Radio Engineers and partly to its own recent resolve to extend its field of interest from ultrasonics to all sonic phenomena not communicating intelligence to the human ear.
