Acta Technica 75. (1973)

1-4. szám - Preface

PREFACE This 75th volume of ACTA TECHNICA is presented to the international scientific public as an anniversary issue. ACTA TECHNICA is being published in irregular intervals, covering about 480 pages per volume, as a periodical of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Its main objective is to publish in foreign languages the results of Hun­garian scientific work carried on in the research institutes of, and supported by, the Academy. Its competence covers the fields of engineering, machine building, electric engineering, automation, and telecommunication sciences. The first volume was published in 1950. During the 23 years since that time about 2500 papers have appeared in its columns, over a total of almost 35 000 pages. Through its valuable articles, ACTA TECHNICA has gained high appre­ciation from international engineering circles, and occupies now a leading position in the technical literature all over the world. All this is verified by the fact that well-known foreign scientists use its columns for the publication of their scientific papers in a continuously growing number and more and more frequently. Acknowledgement is due to them for their valuable co­operation, and particularly for their papers hallmarking and even, perhaps, honouring this anniversary volume. Special thanks go to the managing bodies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and all our associates, who, with their valuable assistance, papers, and criticism have made possible the creation of this international forum of the Hungarian engineering sciences, its maintenance, and fruitful develop­ment. It is hoped that their understanding support will he continued in the future and thus, just like in the past, we shall be able in the coming years to serve sincerely the case of the Hungarian technical sciences and, thereby, the benefit of not only our own country but also of all the nations in this world.
