  • Abstract
    A large number of people in several organizations have contributed to make an investigation of this type possible and to correlate the data in suitable form for presentation. The authors wish to express their appreciation to the Ohio Power Company, the Appalachian Electric Power Company, the Atlantic City Electric Company, and the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company, where the field work was done; and to those in the Engineering Departments of the General Electric Company and the American Gas and Electric Service Corporation who supervised the work and analyzed the records. Acknowledgment is made to the helpful assistance of George D. Lippert of the American Gas and Electric Service Corporation for correlating the records on which the paper is based, and to Doctor K. B. McEachron and D. D. MacCarthy of the General Electric Company for their assistance in organizing and directing the progress of the investigation.
