Abstract
The “Big and Little Big Inch” lines, two of the longest gas transmission lines in America, depend entirely on electric energy for their operation. One two-hundred and eightieth of our entire yearly electric power consumption is used by their many pieces of equipment. The successful conversion of these lines, which originally were built and used during the war for carrying crude oil and refined petroleum products, is described in this article.
