Symposium on Lightning Lightning on Transmission Lines Cathode Ray Oscillograph Studies

This paper is a review of the work done and results obtained in Norindertype cathode ray oscillograph studies of lightning on transmission lines during 1929. The various installations and methods of test are described. The wave shapes recorded are illustrated and their meaning discussed. The paper also contains a preliminary description of an artificial lightning investigation, using a portable 1,000,000-volt surge generator and a portable cathode ray oscillograph. The methods used and some of the preliminary results are discussed.
