Abstract :
THE purpose of this paper is to present briefly the results of an investigation on transmission line transients recently performed in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Mass. Inst. of Tech., by Messrs. S. M. Jones, J. A. Scott, B. Van Ness, and D. C. Jackson, Jr., graduate students in the department. The object of the research was to check experimentally part of the theory of transients on transmission lines and cables, and to investigate qualitatively certain phenomena of reflection and wave form.
