On July 31, 1947, the first length of 138-kv compression-type pipe cable was installed in the current Consolidated Edison Company of New York (N. Y.) Inc.´s extensive tie expansion program. The compression-type cable installation is the first commercial installation of its kind to be made in the United States. The tie program includes two 138-kv feeders between the Hudson Avenue generating station and a new distributing station at Jamaica, N. Y., and one 138-kv feeder between Jamaica and the Valley Stream, N. Y., substation of the Long Island Lighting Company.
