Abstract
After serious geothermal exploration commenced at Wairakei in 1949, New Zealand soon became leaders in the development of hot water geothermal fields. Overseas scientists and engineers frequently came to inspect the developments or gain experience by working in New Zealand for short periods, but no systematic training courses were devised. The work was carried out by the Departments of Works and Development and Scientific and Industrial Research, on behalf of the Electricity Department.
