Abstract:of all electric conductors, attention was turned to the open or uncovered wires. The line running from Berlin to Magdeburg, a distance of 93 miles, was selected. The comparison was made between a wire 2 mm. (.078 inch) in diameter and 93 miles long, and another of 3 mm. (.118 inch) in diameter and 111:� miles long. Fig 2 shows the manner of equipping the former wire with the coils, as well as the double insulator. The coils were placed upon poles 2'\6 miles apart, and it was found that the as sisted smaller wi… Show more
