Bibliography and summary of fault location methods [includes discussion]

The purpose of this report is to present an extensive bibliography on fault location methods. In compiling the bibliography, the search of the literature was carried back to 1940; however, a few articles published prior to 1940 were uncovered and these are listed, too. Included with most of the references are one or two statements giving the gist of the content of the paper or article. Brief summaries of the most common fault location methods are given in Tables I and II, which are intended chiefly as guides to the literature. They show some features of each method, some references to it in the bibliography approximate accuracy, and principal use.
