The Engineering Foundation

THE annual report for 1938–1939 of the Engineering Foundation of New York forms an interesting record of a year's activity in a wide range ofresearch projects mainly of a technical nature, associated with engineering and designed to produce results of practical value to science, industry and public welfare. These researches are carried out in collaboration with engineering and other societies and the results are published by the institutions concerned and by the technical press. The part played by the Engineering Foundation is that of receiving applications for assistance, examining the merits of the projects submitted, recommending and making grants and maintaining contact with the work while in progress.
