| years passed since the first meeting of Acoustic Emission Working
Group (AEWG) was held in Idaho Falls, on February 8, 1968. |
|
AEWG had its beginning in a discussion between Allen T. Green (then at Aerojet-General Corp.,
later at Acoustic Technology Group) and Jack Spanner (then at Battelle Northwest).
Spanner arranged for a formative meeting of interested parties to be held in
Alcoa, TN, on November 2, 1967.

become the charter members of the AEWG.
