Insulating paper

During the period from June 1937 to July 1938, the literature on insulating papers is concerned principally with problems pertaining to the performance of high voltage paper insulated cables. Two books of interest have appeared, one by Paul Boning⁽¹⁵⁾ containing a discussion of the influence of adsorbed ions on the inner surface of cellulose and other materials, and the second by R. Vieweg.⁽¹⁶⁾ Two useful bibliographies have appeared, one by H. F. Lewis,⁽¹⁷⁾ prepared under the auspices of The Committee on Cellulose and Allied Substances Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, National Research, Council, containing 475 references, and the second by Dr. J.B. Whitehead,⁽¹⁸⁾ dealing particularly with high voltage cable insulation and containing 84 references.
