Abstract :
S. K. Waldorf (Pennsylvania Water and Power Company, Baltimore, Md.): Messrs. Gross and McMorris have presented a valuable analysis of the burden placed upon station arresters. There is one factor which they have not evaluated and which is believed to be of importance. This factor is tower-footing resistances on a shielded line and I wish to inquire of the authors if their original data will enlighten us on this point. The experience of the Pennsylvania Water and Power Company may also shed some light upon it.
