Abstract
MOST HIGH-VOLTAGE LINES, in keeping with the trend of thought at the time they were built, have employed steel supporting structures until quite recently. About 15 years ago after an analysis of various high-voltage lines, it was concluded that a properly designed wood line would give superior service from an interruption standpoint.
