Abstract
THE paper read on November 18 by Mr. A. Bachellery at a joint meeting of the Institution of Electrical Engineers with the British Section of the French Society of Civil Engineers, shows that considerable progress has been made with the electrification of some of the French railways since Mr. Bachellery read a previous paper in 1923. At that date, only about 15 miles of the Paris-Orléans railway was operated electrically, and on the Midi railway there were three sections operating on different systems and at different pressures.
