Abstract :
Various types of possible danger from radio installations are considered: shocks to the operator, short-circuit from lightning or from contact with high tension power lines, breakdown from the high tension circuits of the radio transmitter itself, and harmful inductive effects from radio transmitters. In each case, instances are given together with the proper means of avoiding the undesired effect. In this connection, some detailed experiments are described.
