Eugene Starr Papers, 1911-1988

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.
