Artificial transmission lines with distributed constants

J. F. Peters: I would like to comment on the paper by Professor Dellenbaugh. The performance of a simple transmission line at normal frequency, where the supply is at one end and the load at the other, can be calculated very accurately and with a small amount of labor. When the load or supply is distributed at several points, or there are a number of branches, the matter becomes considerably more complicated and an artificial line may be desirable; it may offer the easiest method of solution. However, the solution of the performance of the transmission line is not the important problem. The important problem is the solution of the transmission line including the rotating machinery; that is, it should include the reactions of the generators and the synchronous condensers that are generally used on high-voltage transmission.
