Abstract
THIS Westinghouse anniversary, which brings together such eminent authorities in pure science, research, education, government, engineering, and industry, makes timely a discussion on how the activities of those in these various fields of endeavor affect one another. We are all strongly aware that our present-day, highly complex, material civilization was predominantly derived from the fundamental research and engineering of the past and the future growth, depends upon present and future research and technological application. In the past, development in the Machine Age depended upon the application of scientific knowledge collected for years by scientists and applied by a few geniuses such as George Westinghouse. Today, this slow method of technological development will no longer suffice. Watt and his teakettle are replaced by men highly trained in thermodynamics and superacoustic gas flow. Goodyear and his kitchen stove are succeeded by men with knowledge of statistical mechanics of long* chain polymers...
