Preface
The periods devoted to round table discussions of general corrosion problems and of pipe line corrosion problems were two of the highlights of the April, 1950, Corrosion Conference in St. Louis. Delegates and members submitted many questions prior to the meeting. As time permitted, a limited number were discussed.
Those in attendance were able to both contribute and receive information and to evaluate it in terms of their own experience. For these reasons these round table discussions were most interesting and informative.
At the General Corrosion Problems Round Table each discussor was requested to submit a resume of his remarks for use in preparing answers for publication. These discussions were "off the record" and no one was quoted directly. These written answers were collected and edited by the leader, F. L. LaQue, and are presented below. Since only a limited number of questions could be taken up in the allotted time the remaining questions have been submitted to the editor of the "Questions and Answers" Department of Corrosion.
While these brief answers will prove useful, a written report on this type of program cannot substitute for attendance and participation.
