Schedule And Papers— SNAME Spring Meeting In Philadelphia, Pa.

It had to be Philadelphia. No other city in the United States would do for the national Spring Meeting of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in this bicentennial year. The city's reputation as a fine convention center and showplace of American history lends itself well to the 1976 Spring Meeting theme, "Maritime America—1776 to 1976 and Beyond." The Philadelphia Section of SNAME will be hosting the meeting, scheduled for June 2-5 at the Marriott Motor Inn.

The 12 carefully-chosen technical papers will provide a background into the history of the marine industry, perspective into its present developments, and insight of future projections.

Papers scheduled for Thursday, June 3, include: "Commercial Shipping and Shipbuilding in the Delaware," by William A. Baker; "Cushions and Foils," by Peter J.

Mantle; "200 Years of Naval Shipbuilding in the Delaware Valley," by Robert E. Egan; "Trends in Electric Cable Design for Shipboard Service," by Gordon F.
