The annual joint meeting of the Philadelphia

Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the Philadelphia

Section of the American Welding Society was held January 15, 1971 at the Philadelphia En- gineers Club. As in the past, this was a very successful and informative meeting with an attendance of some 150 members and guests.

The topic of the paper presented was an abstract of welding techniques, hardware, reg- ulatory agencies, and inspection from the year 1931 up to the present state of the art. Em- phasis was placed on the shipbuilding welding application, but brief descriptions were offered of the modern day experiences of the author in the aerospace and hydrospace areas.

The title of the paper presented was "Reflec- tions on 35 years of Shipyard Welding" written by the industry-wide authoritarian Charles L.

Dooley, chief welding engineer with Sun Ship- building and Dry Dock Company. Coordinator for the meeting was Samuel S. Morse, naval architect with Arco.
