  • Abstract
    SUCCESSFUL USE of the transport helicopter in Korea and in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia is focusing attention on the potentialities of this craft as a transport vehicle. With such successful operations in mind, a study was indicated of the feasibility of using a commercially available 8-passenger 1,500-pound payload-carrying transport helicopter for transmission-line maintenance and repair work. The system studied was the 1,558-mile transmission system of the Parker-Davis Project of the Bureau of Reclamation, in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
