Abstract :
John B. Whitehead: If I understand Mr. Wiseman aright, he has found an agreement between the results of observation on the dielectric strength of cables and the application of certain empirical laws, based on the behavior of gases. As regards ionization, his suggestion is that it may be possible to explain the laws of cable failures in terms of ionization of the dielectric.
