GENERAL INFORMATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Sesquicentennial Forum on Transportation Engineering is the sequel to the 1966 National Transportation Symposium sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers May 1-6, 1966, in San Francisco. The Preface to the 1966 Proceedings states in part: "This Symposium is an effort to bring together various representatives of the transportation industry: manufacturers, operators, legislators, and administrators. They will integrate their related efforts through systems analysis in order to approach the solution to transportation's urgent problems." The Sesquicentennial Forum on Transportation Engineering continues this tradition on a working and hardware-oriented level. The Forum is cosponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) and the Aviation and Space Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) with the participation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and three additional Divisions of ASME, namely: Gas Turbines, Materials Handling, and Safety. The NYAS was selected as the administrative society in recognition of its Sesquicentennial Year, and also as an effort to involve a broader segment of the scientific community in the search of solutions to the interdisciplinary problems associated with transportation engineering. REGISTRATION The Registration Desk will be located in the Silver Corridor, third floor, of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and will be open during the following hours: Sunday, Aug. 27 6:00 pm-9:00 pm Monday, Aug. 28 8:00 am-5:00 pm Tuesday, Aug. 29 8:00 am-2:00 pm Wednesday, Aug. 30 8:00 am-2:00 pm REGISTRATION FEES | | *Before Aug. 18 | *After Aug. 18 | †Tues. and/or Wed. only | | Members of NYAS, ASME, IEEE | $25.00 | $27.50 | $22.50 | Non-Members | $35.00 | $37.50 | $32.50 | | Authors, Program Committee | $ 5.00 | $ 5.00 | - | *Includes Proceedings, Mixer †Includes Proceedings Only Spirit of St. Louis Luncheon -------------------- $ 8.00 Extra Mixer Tickets ----------------------------- $ 5.00 Additional Proceedings, at Forum ---------------- $15.00 Additional Proceedings, after Aug. 30 ----------- $20.00 Kindly register in advance, using form in upper right-hand corner of the centerfold of this program.

The Waldorf-Astoria is one of the world's great hotel sand is centrally located with respect to many New York attractions. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants in the area (Lexington Avenue exit). Both the NYAS Building and the United Engineering Center (ASME, IEEE) are within 20 minutes walking distance. During rush hours cabs are difficult to get, and busses may be slower than walking. New York and its environment offer many worthwhile attractions which provide an experience for the entire family. If you can bring your family, consider combining this trip with one to Montreal and a visit to Expo 67. PUBLICATIONS Most Forum papers will be available as individual ASME pamphlets during and for 10 months after the Forum from the ASME Order Dept., 345 E. 47 Street, New York, N.Y. 10017. The pamphlets will be on sale at the Forum Publications Desk at $.75 a copy or in exchange for ASME member coupons. After the Forum, NYAS will publish all available papers and discussion in a bound volume as a permanent reference. A copy of this volume will be distributed by mail to all registered attendees, the cost being included in the registration fee. Additional copies of the 1967 volume may be ordered at the Forum Publications Desk at the special price of $15.00. Copies of the 1966 National transportation Symposium and other publications will also be on sale.
