Grave issues of state and politics sharply focused world interest, last week, on Edward of Wales and on the leaders of Great Britain's three political parties. The secret had leaked out−after months of official concealment−that President William T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State...
The primary cause of cables breaking down in service is due to the fact that small voids or air spaces are formed within the paper insulation. With present methods of manufacture, these voids appear to be inevitable. When such voids form, a minute electric discharge takes place within the void...
We have already determined some of the essential electrical properties of these ionized gas films. With this information, we have been able to determine from simple power measurements on a cable just how much power is being lost as ionization in the destructive air films. Naturally, the life of the...
This work is now being continued by conducting life tests on cable samples. The samples are approximately fifteen feet long, and they are subjected to high voltage for fifteen hours each day. Also, their electrical characteristics are measured every day so that we can determine the electrical characteristics of the...
Curves are being plotted showing the electrical characteristics of these cables taken every day. At this time we appear to be obtaining a very definite relation between these electrical characteristics, and the number of hours which the cable will operate. Although investigations of this general character have been conducted heretofore...
