At an added cost of 20%, the most high-powered line now known could be increased 75% in capacity and made part of a line of unlimited length...
...power at a certain distance from the source of the current, deadening the line if correctives are not applied. In addition, long distance high voltage lines are apt to behave erratically. To steady the operation of the line, automatic voltage regulators are added to it at regular intervals. Engineer Baum's invention consisted, broadly, in replacing all but a minimum of auxiliary regulating equipment, with synchronous condensers every 100 miles. In these condensers, the current is given opportunity to steady itself, and pick up whatever voltage* it has lost traveling from its source or from its last correcting station...
