1. High Voltage
Transmission. 1911-1988.
Eugene Starr is perhaps best known for his important
contributions to the practice of transmitting high-voltage electricity
across distances of many hundreds of miles. The large collection of
published papers, internal reports, field data, correspondence and
memoranda in Series 1 documents Starr's seven decades of work on the
issue of high-voltage transmission. In so doing, the series reflects
Starr's interest in engineering and testing reliable transmission
systems able to withstand the natural elements while minimizing the
risks posed by the systems to humans and other animal life.
