Abstract

Extra insulation was obtained on this important link of the Union Electric Light and Power Company transmission system by the use of wood crossarms. By hinging the arms to the steel tower structures, arm and tower stresses were reduced materially; consequently tower weights and line costs were lowered accordingly. Details of these and other major features of this unusual line are given in this article.
