of heating, ventilating and air conditioning, is located at 721S Euclid Ave., Cleveland 3, Ohio. ASHAE DEDICATED TO RESEARCH From the day of its inception, a primary purpose of ASHAE was and still is re search. For the first 25 years such research activity had been confined to individuals or committees utilizing available equipment or facilities. In January 1919 the Society approved the establishment of a permanent research laboratory located in the U. S. Bureau of Mines, Pittsburgh, Pa. The Laboratory was moved in 1944 to limited quarters in Cleveland, Ohio and in 1946 the Society acquired its present large, permanent quarters in Cleveland. The Society is justly proud of the fact that it is the only professional engineering society that maintains and operates its own research laboratory. 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. 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. Together with the cooperating institu tions the Society has, during the last year, conducted 22 research projects including work on Air Distribution, Fan and Air Noise, Hot Water Heating, Industrial Vent ilation, Insulation, Odor Control Comfort, 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. SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS Transactions--A permanent record of Society activities published annually, con taining scientific papers, proceedings of meetings, discussions, reports of meetings. Distributed to members as part of membership service; and to others for $6.00. Journal--Contains advance publication of technical papers, the reports of Society and Chapter meetings, and other items of general interest. The Journal has been, published as a section of Heating Piping & Air Conditioning magazine, since May 1929, and a special reduced subscription rate is available to members. The Guide--A distinctly new service was inaugurated by the Society in 1922 when it established the Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning Guide. Now in 1958, as the 36th Edition makes its appearance, it is notable that The Guide has served effectively not only the membership but the entire profession and the allied indus tries, and has received world-wide recognition as a reliable and authoritative com pendium of useful heating, ventilating and air-conditioning data. Throughout the 36 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 in its field, being used by practicing engineers, educators and manufacturers in all parts of the world, and as a text book by a growing number of the world's principal engineering institutions. 498 REGIONS AND CHAPTERS OF THE SOCIETY } aij.: * Under the Regional Plan adopted in 1956 the 72 Chapters are divided into 7 geo graphical regions, with regions headed by a regional director who is chairman of the Chapters Regional Committee for his respective area. The regional directors are MEMBERS of the Council, and also comprise the Regions Central Committee of which the Second Vice President is chairman. Each Chapters Regional Committee meets once a year between February and May to discuss Chapter problems and select a member to represent the region on the Society Nominating Committee. Individual Chapters average eight meetings a year between September and May, which are distinct and apart from Society Annual and Semi-Annual Meetings. Region 1--Regional Director: Frank H.
