Abstract :
Throughout the past 2½ years investigations have been carried on by the electrical and chemical divisions of the Engineering Experiment Station at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., in cooperation with the Utilities Research Commission of Chicago, Ill., leading to the development of improved weather resistant coverings for overhead electric light and power wires, and in perfecting accelerated weathering and other tests for determining the comparative merits of such coverings. These investigations are described and summarized in a bulletin entitled “Improved Weather Resistant Coverings for Overhead Line Wires” by L. L, Carter (A´29), J. W. Olson, C. F. Harding (A´06, F´14), and R. N. Shreve; the bulletin, No. 43, may be obtained from the Engineering Experiment Station, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., free to residents of Indiana, and at a cost of 50 cents to non-residents.
