Discussion on “power-factor, alternating-current inductive capacity, chemical and other tests of rubber-covered wires of different manufacturers,” at Niagara Falls, June 25, 1907

In presenting this paper to the Institute I wish it to be clearly understood that no attempt has been made to say anything or do anything that would be discourteous to the manufacturers of rubber-covered wire. The main object of the paper is to compare a large variety of rubber-covered wires, especially with reference to power-factor and dielectric loss. So far as I know these tests have not been applied commercially to any extent here.
