TECHNICAL P.ROGRAIME \

General. The subject of the papers and discussions at the Section Meeting
of the World Power Conference to be held in The Hague in 1947 ill be FQ'EL
ECONOMY.
Page 3
It is intended to consider war - time experi enc es , &Swell as developments
since 19j9 d .future developments .
The progr e i s divided into three secti ons , viz.:
A PRODUCTION B DISTRIBUTION C UTILI ZATI ON
le.ch section is sub-divided into number of groups. The papers will be
clas ified according to these groups, and it is intended to reserve ut least
one session for each group, al ough the r i ght is r eserved to vide or
combine groups , if necessary , occording to t he papers submitted.
The headings mentioned under each group are merel y suggestions;
other subjects c be dealt \vith, provided they do not contravene
the regulations.
Papers de "'ing 1.ith impr oved technique end which open f i el ds for further
dev opment are especilllly encour~ced. Papers of a tatistical or summ r i sed
ch acter not likely to have practical applicati on should be avoid d as much
as po ssible . No objection would ~e raised to papers covering mor e than one group.
Papers should only deal with tecbnic ~nd/or economic questions (not th po-
litical questions) d should not con · in matter that could be con t rued as
advertising. The contents of the papers should have a direct bearing on fuel
econo , e .g., the i mportance of staff education for the purpose of fuel econo-

We herewith have tlie honour to ini'orm you as follows .

Sectionai Meeting of the World Power Conference ,
called Fuel Economy Conference, will be held at The Hague from
2 till 10 eptember 1947. This Conference Will especially deal with
the production, distribution and utilization of fuel. 1 any
countries have already suomi tted papers to this Conference and a
great number of participants have applied . Conse~uently it i s to

t be expected that this first post-wc1r con 6 H:Sb to be held by the

World Pmver Conference will succeed . The Netherlands National
Committee of the World .Power Conference is entrusted with the
organization of the Conference mentioned above .
For your e:,uidance we beg to send you enclosed a
preliminary general programme with membership application form and
a technical programme and have the honour to invite you to nominate
an official delegate, v1ho will represent your·organization at the
congress . We readily trust that you will comply with our request
and return us the membership application form completed by you . It
is self-evident, of course, that the official delegate appointed
by . you, need not pc:t.y the membersnip f'ee and the extra cost of
excursions . However this is not the case with the hotelexpenses
during his stay in Holland.

 WORLD POWER CONFERENCE, FUEL ECONOMY CONFERENCE GENERAL
The subject of the papers and discussions at the Sectional
Meeting of the World Power Conference to be held in
The Hague in 1947 will be FUEL ECONOMY.
THE HAGUE, SEPTEMBER 2-9, 1947
It is intended to consider war-time experiences, as well
as developments since 1939 and future developments.
. , The programme is divided into three sections, viz.:
A PRODUCTION B DISTRIBUTION C UTILIZATION
Each section is sub-divided into a number of groups.
Technical Programme The papers will be classified according to these groups, .
and it is intended to reserve at least one session for each
group, although the right is Teserved to divide or
combine groups, if necessary, according to the papers
submitted.
Tlie headings mentioned under each group are merely
,ggestions; other subjects can be dealt with, providPd they
J not contravene the regulations.
,Jers dealing with improved technique and which open
fields for further development are especially encouraged.
Papers of a statistical or summarised character not
likely to have practical application should be avoided
as much as possible. No objection would be raised to
papers covering more than one group.
CONFERENCE MONDIALE DE L'E.NERG/E, L'ECONOM/E DES COMBUSTIBLES Papers should only deal with technical and/ or economic
questions (not with political questions) and should not
contain any matter that could be construed as advertising.
The contents of the papers should have a direct bearing
on fuel economy, e.g., the importance of staff education
for the purpose of fuel economy should not be included.
Papers should deal as far as possible with experiences and

ter power and wind power are not specifically men-
tioned in Section A. There are, however, no objections
to these forms of energy being dealt with, e.g., for pur-
Programme Technique poses of economic comparison in so far as they can be
classified in group AI.
Lighting should be left out of consideration in Section C.
It is intended to supply the members of the Conference
with the National Reports on Fuel Economy already
prepared by the National Committees at the request of
the Central Office of the W.P.C., so that summarised
reports on fuel economy, dealing with the situation in
various countries, can be omitted.
GENERALITES
Le sujet des rapports et des discussions de la session
speciale de la Conference Mondiale de l'Energie qui sera
tenue a La Haye en 1947, sera L'ECONOMIE DES
COMBUSTIBLES.
Ces rapports et discussions devront traiter des experiences
et des progres realises depuis 1939 ainsi que des progres
qui sont prevus pour un proche avenir.
Le programme contient 3 Sections:
A PRODUCTION B TRANSPORT C UTILISATION"
Chaque section est divisee en un certain nombre de
groupes. Les rapports sont repartis entre ces groupes et il
est prevu de reserver au moins une seance pour chaque
groupe sous reserve de subdiviser ou de combiner certains
groupes, si necessaire, suivant les sujets traites par les
rapports.
Les sujets mentionnes dans chaque groupe ne sont que des
suggestions. II est permis de presenter des rapports sur
d' autres sujets a condition qu' ifs ne contreviennent pas au
reglement.
II est specialement desirable de voir presenter a la session
des rapports .concernant !es progres techniques et ouvrant
des vues nouvelles pour !es progres futurs. Les rapports
de caractere statistique OU compilatif etrangers a des
applications pratiques doivent etre evites autant que
possible. Rien ne s'oppose a presenter des rapports
couvrant plus d'un groupe.
Les rapports ne doivent traiter que des questions tech-
niques ou economiques a !'exclusion de toutes questions
politiques, et ne doivent contenir aucun passage de nature
publicitaire. Les sujets qu'ils traitent doivent etre en
relation directe avec I' economie des combustibles: par
exemple, on devra exclure toute question concernant
!'importance de !'education du personnel en vue d'une
economie de combustibles. Les rapports ne devront
concerner autant que possible que les experiences faites
et les progres realises depuis I 939.
L'energie hydraulique et l'energie du vent ne sont pas
explicitement mentionnees a la Section A. II n'y a
cependant aucune objection a ce que des rapports soient
presentes sur ces deux sujets, notamment s'il s'agit d'une
comparaison economique avec les sujets traites au groupe
Al.
L' eclairage devra etre laisse de cote a la Section C.
Les membres de la Conference recevront les rapports
nationaux sur l'economie des combustibles qui ont ete
prepares par les Co mites N ationaux a la demande de
!'Office Central de la Conference Mondiale: II sera done
inutile de presenter des rapports de compilation sur
l'economie des combustibles clans chaque pays.

General information in regard to the preparation of papers
1. All members of the ll 94 7 Conference will be supplied
in good time and free of cost with copies of all the printed
papers, as well as with the General Reports and with the
National Papers prepared by the National Committees at an
earlier date.
2. Papers will not be read at the Conference, so that the Sessions
will be exclusively devoted to oral discussion. General Reporters
will be appointed for the various groups, who will summarise in
their General Reports the essential parts of the papers and suggest
topics for discussion. After the discussion of these items, there
will be an opportunity for free discussion in so far :is time will
permit.
3. Having regard to the scarcity of paper, it is necessary to restrict
the number of papers to be submitted by each country. The
National Committees of the W.P.C. will be informed in writing
as to the number of papers that can be submitted by them.
4. Papers can only be submitted through the intermediary of the
National Committees or National Representatives of the World
Power Conference.
5. The National Committees will be called upon to contribute
towards the cost of printing of the papers they present to the
extent of 15/ - per page.
6. The value of the papers will in most cases be considerably
enhanced by the addition of a bibliographical annex.
Informations generales en vue de . la preparation des rapports
