Conference on Mechanisms. 



This conference was sponsored by Purdue University and Machine Design. 

 Transactions of the first two conferences appeared as special sections in Machine 

 Design, December 1953, vol. 25, pp. 173-220, December 1954, vol. 26, pp. 187- 

 236, and in collected reprints. Papers of the third and fourth conferences (May 

 1956 and October 1957) appeared in Machine Design over several months following 

 each conference and in collected reprints. Papers of the fifth conference (October 

 1958) were collected and preprinted for conference participants; subsequently, 

 all papers appeared in Machine Design. Collected reprints and preprints are avail- 

 able (May 1960) from Penton Publishing Company, Cleveland, Ohio.

 matics," Journal and Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1954, vol. 

 168, pp. 877-896. 



This article evoked interesting discussion. It is unfortunate that Grodzinski's 

 periodical, Mechanism, An International Bibliography, which was published in London 

 in 1956-1957 and which terminated shortly after his death, has not been 

 revived. Grodzinski's incisive views and informative essays are valuable and 

 interesting.

This is an excellent primer. The author explains complex numbers in his 

 usual lucid fashion.
