In a previous article in Interface, various measures of “journal prestige” were discussed. Present metrics of journal impact are based largely on researchers citing the peer-reviewed articles of other researchers that lead to an interwoven network of “forward” and “backward” citations.
OF PAPER The paper gives a definition of an automiatically controlled as distinguished from a remotely controlled substation, and also analyzes the duties of the attendant in the starting, loading, and shutting down, of apparatus in hand-operated stations. It states that the changes in the conditions of the electric circuit which the attendant observes may also be utilized to operate control relays, and as reliable devices are already available to protect the machines against overload and runaway, his assistance in these matters is no longer necessary. The paper then proceeds on the assumption that converting apparatus should be automatically controlled and that the conditions which have heretofore governed both the design and location of substations can be modified to advantage in many cases. It advocates a reduction in size and an increase in the number of stations and endeavors by example to show the large saving in feeder copper which the proposed arrangement permits. Finally, a description is given of the automatically controlled substations installed on the lines of the Elgin & Belvidere Electric Railroad.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
