    THE General Electric Company and the Central Electric Cooperative, Inc., at Parkers Landing, Pa., conducted an investigation on 7,200-volt multigrounded rural systems during the period from 1944 through 1947. All lightning measurements were made on one extensive feeder with approximately 465 miles of line and 1,350 distribution transformers protected by expulsion arresters.
