banner of the American Society op Heating and Aib-Conditioning Engineebs, thousands of the real leaders of thought and action in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning have gathered about that standard and carried it proudly before them far along the way of outstanding accomplishment. They may be identified among engineering groups by the distinctive emblem which was adopted by the Charter Members. :' The first Annual Meeting was held in New York, N. Y., January 22-24, 1895, and the organization was incorporated that same year, under the laws of the State. ASHAE RESEARCH LABORATORY " Since 1919 the American Society of Heating and Aib-Conditioning Engineebs has maintained a permanent research staff and, since 1946, its own research labora tory at 7218 Euclid Ave., Cleveland 3, Ohio, devoted to the study of fundamental problems in the field of heating, .ventilating and air conditioning. In addition to work at the Society's laboratory, a substantial part of the research program has been carried on through the medium of cooperative agreements with leading educational institutions of the.United States and Canada. . All research activities'are planned and supervised by the Committee on Research of 15 elected members, assisted by various Technical Advisory Committees of the Society.; Since 1919, approximately $2,500,000 has been expended on research, which has helped guide the industry to better practice and equipment. Together with the cooperating institutions the Society has, during the last year, conducted 22 research projects including work on Air Distribution, Comfort, Fan and Air Noise, Hot Water Heating, Industrial Ventilation, Insulation, Odor Control and Physiological Factors. The research activities are financed from Society funds, of which a portion comes from membership dues and from its publications, and these funds are amplified by contributions from friends in the industries engaged in the general field of heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

THE GUIDE A distinctly new service was inaugurated by the Society in 1922 when it estab lished The Guide. Now in 1957, as the 35th Edition of the Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning Guide makes its appearance, it is notable that The Guide has served effectively not only the membership but the entire profession and the allied industries, and has received world wide recognition as a reliable and authoritative compendium of useful heating, ventilating and air conditioning data. Throughout the 35 years of its service The Guide has become a reference book of unchallenged position in its special field of engineering. The intention of its founders, to provide an instrument of service containing reference material on the design and specification of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and containing essential and reliable information concerning modern equipment, has been carefully safeguarded by those responsible for the compilation of each Edition. The Guide exerts today one of the most positive influences tending to elevate, improve and extend the whole Art of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning. It is universally recognized as the most useful and authoritative work i being used by practicing engineers, educators and manufacturers in i world, and as a text-book by a growing number of the world's princig institutions. 519
