  • Abstract
    THE OUTDOOR air switch is a universally used device which through the years has evolved into a few well-known types. Increasing preference has been shown for the rotating-insulator vertical-break switch, which has become almost a standard for outdoor service. A new switch of this type is described, and a discussion of the problems associated with its design is presented.
