Abstract
THE summer meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was held at Zurich and northern Switzer land, commencing on Monday, July 24. In addition to the meetings for the reading and discussion of papers, an extensive programme of visits to works and hydro-electric power stations had been arranged, and formed an important part of the meetings. The works visited included those of Brown Boveri, Esher Wyss and Co., Oerlikon Machine Works, Sulzer Brothers, and the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works. The power stations at Rheinfelden, Laufenburg, Wangen, Schaffhausen, Beznau, and Lontsch were also included. The institution dinner was held on July 25. Brief notices of the papers read are given below, and a fuller abstract of a paper on high-pressure water-pbwer works will appear in a later issue.
