Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook on Overhead Line Construction: Compiled by the Sub-Committee on Overhead Line Construction, National Electric Light Association
While many handbooks hitherto have been prepared covering these various branches of engineering, this, we believe, is the first attempt made to compile a work strictly on overhead line construction.
Literature on the subject is comparatively scarce and that which is available is distributed through a great number of publications. It has therefore been felt by almost all who have taken an active interest in overhead line construction that a handbook would be extremely useful. The preparation of this book has involved the collection of the available data and selection from these data what were most essential.
It is not the intention, and it must not be so considered, that this is a handbook of rules and regulations; or that an attempt has been made to create standards or write specifications. It is rather a collection of useful informa tion, which should prove of material assistance to all those engaged in the construction or maintenance of overhead lines for light and power purposes. The authorship of such specifications as have been included is specially noted. The formulae used have been taken from authoritative sources, and while the sub-committee is not responsible for. Them, it believes they will be found of service.
