✦ Synopsis

Congratulations to the Cryogenic Engineering Conference on reaching its Silver Anniversary. The Proceedings of the 1979 Conference held at Madison, Wisconsin are here recorded in Volume 25 of Advances in Cryogenic Engineering which continues to maintain the standards set by previous volumes in this series. This tome is aptly dedicated to H.O. McMahon, retired director of A.D. Little and whose contributions to Cryogenic technology have included the co-invention of the widely known Gifford-McMahon refrigerator. Even though the average length of individual contributions is relatively short, this weighty volume stretches to nearly 900 pages reflecting in particular the growing emphasis on potential large.scale applications of superconductivity to power generation and heavy electrical engineering, for example. In view of the large number of contributions, therefore, one can only make a few general comments in a brief review.
