  • Abstract
    This paper gives the results of a rather comprehensive series of tests on the impulse insulation characteristics of wood and on combinations of insulators and wood as used in wood pole transmission line construction; and suggested methods of protecting wood from damage due to lightning discharges: also a brief discussion on the application of the data.
