Abstract :
As a service to AIEE members, there was published in 1937 by the Institute under the auspices of the power transmission and distribution committee a “Lightning Reference Book” which was compiled by the lightning and insulator subcommittee. It included a reproduction of some 200 technical papers on lightning which had been published up to 1935. These papers had been selected carefully by the committee to include the outstanding information on the lightning problem as it affected the electric industry.
