The Columbia towers will become the highest transmission towers in the world, as far as is known. In fact, in designing the 1550 miles of Bonneville transmission line, the largest jolt now under way in America, it was necessary to de velop an entirely new technique of lint* design and calculation. First a manual of instruction was work ed out providing organization short cuts. Survey parties were requir ed to “ go to school” for 10 days before they were sent into the field. Then a short circuit hoard, really a model of the entire transmission and substation system, «¿is limit to eliminate lahorous calculations and to determine voltage drops and re actions under different load condi tions at the II substations. This was done by means of a series of Vector diagrams in which trans mission line circuits were simulat ed graphieallv. The trick or short step came when a series of these diagrams, representing one of the lines, was rotated and different toad conditions could he set up and voltages determined. Other shortcuts Bonneville engi neers used were templets in outlin ing the sag of transmission lilies over widely varying terrain, anil drawings instead of word descrip- j turns to describe a reels of land needed for right of way and sub-I station s i t e s Utilizing a trick cm- I ployed in huildmg sets for boys, | they also standardized units mak- ! mg up substations so they could be moved about to fit the varied conditions. Substation buildings, were not only designed to hsrmon- | lie with the landscape, they were standardized, starting with a min imum structure of one room and stepping up to embrace offices, ; patrol rooms, gut ages aiul storage TH E Hie farmer has needed has been markets, not cheap fertilizer to raise more crops which it was bring would which sodium chlorate at cost from federal plants, as well as electricity at cost from federal H'ontinuad front 1’ a g e O ne) if politicians were handling it.
