Abstract
(1) IT seems quite certain that there will be a great demand for high voltage cable for many years to come. In 1924 the consumption of electric energy per head of the population in Great Britain was 100 units. To-day it is more than 150 units, and it is highly probable that by 1940 it will be three times as large. The saturation point is a long way off, and the effect of reducing the number of the supply stations and increasing their size will be to raise continually the pressure of transmission. The demand for high pressure cables, therefore, will go on increasing.
