Bibliography on extra-high-voltage systems

This bibliography presents references to significant literature in the field of extra-high-voltage (EHV) power systems. The most important references have been included up to 1946. Because of the rapid developments, since 1947, in the United States and abroad, of extra-high-voltage research and operating experience, the effort has been made to include all significant references from 1947 through 1957. Thus a total of 839 references are given, which are distributed chronologically as shown in Table I. It is clear that interest in extra-high voltages has increased steadily from the end of World War II to 1954, and is continuing to the present. These references are from more than 100 periodicals, published in 20 countries. The international character of the extrahigh- voltage art is therefore evident. For instance, the 173 references listed for 1956 and 1957 pertain to the following countries: United States 33%; USSR, 24%; Germany, 1 1%; Sweden, 8%; Switzerland, 6%; Great Britain, 4%; Canada, 3%; France, 3%; Finland, 2%; Japan and Italy, 1% each; other countries, 2%.
