Abstract :
J. D. Hilliard: The management of the American Gas and Electric Company, and other companies allied in making the tests, showed real courage in permitting repeated and severe short circuits to be thrown on the system, — short circuits of greater magnitude than any to which high-voltage system had hitherto been intentionally subjected, — and they deserve the thanks of the electrical profession. The operating and construction departments also deserve credit for their efforts in carrying out the testing program in an efficient and expeditious manner.
