Extract

The Society's All-Day Discussion on Aircraft Design Philosophy was extremely well supported and at one stage there were more than 350 members and visitors present. As is inevitable on these occasions there was insufficient time available for all those who wished to make a contribution to do so, even though the four lecturers had reduced their contributions to a bare minimum by presenting summarised versions of their papers.

The preparation of a summary of discussions presents a number of problems.
