Abstract :
An unusual opportunity was afforded the members of the Chicago Section of the Institute in a joint meeting with the Western Society of Engineers on October 6th to hear an address by Dr. Giuseppe Faccioli, Chief Electrical Engineer of the General Electric Company at Pittsfield, Mass. The address was on the general subject of high-voltage phenomena and Dr. Faccioli explained in a very clear manner the generation and reflection of high-voltage waves with steep fronts and with high frequencies.
