...actual world within which he lives, such as can not be derived from the study of algebra or Latin. Their aim, namely, the general broad view over and the correlation of the various forces which have produced the contemporary state of mankind, is almost a commonplace in the academic life of such an institution as is Harvard where not only many courses as for example, Biology A, but ultimately the tutorial system itself are designed to weld together isolated facts into a coordinated whole...
...have already determined some of the essential electrical properties of these ionized gas films. With this information, we have been able to determine from simple power measurements on a cable just how much power is being lost as ionization in the destructive air films. Naturally, the life of the cable is associated with the amount of this loss. Experiments have shown that cables which have the highest value of this ionization loss also appear to be the poorest cables. A paper on this subject was presented at the last Midwinter Convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers...
This work is now being continued by conducting life tests on cable samples. The samples are approximately fifteen feet long, and they are subjected to high voltage for fifteen hours each day. Also, their electrical characteristics are measured every day so that we can determine the electrical characteristics of the cables over their entire life period...
