Abstract :
A very profitable and enjoyable four-days meeting is planned for the coming Pacific Coast Convention of the Institute which will be held in Del Monte, Calif., September 13 to 16, with headquarters at the Hotel Del Monte. The technical papers are of highest quality and will cover some such timely subjects as application of intermediate synchronous condensers to transmission lines, transients and oscillations in transmission lines, oscillographic recording of transients, corona, the spheregap voltmeter, high-voltage circuit breakers, carrier-current protection, carriercurrent communication on power lines, long-distance and toll telephony and lightning protection for oil tanks. The number of papers on the program has been kept low so that there will be ample time for discussion. In addition to the technical papers there will be addresses by President Bancroft Gherardi and Dr. Harris J. Ryan. Further information on the events is given in the accompanying tentative program.
