Transmission Line Construction: Methods and Costs (Classic Reprint)

There is, at present, no book treating adequately of the practical methods employed in modern high-tension line construction. The writers aim in this book has been to supply material of value to the man actively engaged in this kind of work, and to set forth the respective merits of the various types of line construction, together with the methods commonly employed in their building. No attempt has been made to cover the electrical and mechanical calculations involved. The book treats the subject from the standpoint of the construction man rather than that of the office engineer. Considerable attention has been given to cost data. In handling this material, the aim has been to note as far as possible all conditions which might affect costs, and to make these data as definite, useful and reliable as possible. The writer wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. E. J. Le Blond, Minneapolis, Minn., Mr. W. K. A rchbold, President of the A rchbold-B rady Co., Syracuse, N. Y., and Mr. Charles E. Brooks, Minneapolis, Minn., in securing much valuable information. He also desires to express his appreciation of illustrative matter provided by theL ocke Insulator Mfg. Co., The Ohio Brass Co., The A rchbold-B rady Co., theE lectrical World, the Franklin Steel Co., theB owie Switch Co., the Pacific Elec. Mfg. Co., the Railway Industrial Eng. Co., W. N. Matthews Bro., and others. R. A. LUNDQUIST. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., July,
