40 MILLI0NTH Of
| Second MEASURED
Scientists Succeed In Photo,
graphing Lightning

Schenectady. N. r, AUG. SIT has
taken bolt OF lightning just 10 mil
lionths of q second to write a record
Of itself in the study OF perhaps the
greatest difficulty In high power
transmission OF electricity.
This lightning bolt has Just been
photographed in the foothills OF the
Allegheny Mountains near Lake
Wallenpaupack, Pa. Here, ensi-
neers OF the General Electric Com
pany have set up a laboratory for
the study of lightning as it affects
the high power lines of electric COM
panies.
This out Of the-way place was
picked especially because it is one
of the most lightning -infested spots
in the country. The engineers have
deliberately courted the dangers of
lightning on lines carrying 100000
volts OF electricity In order TO learn
its peculiarities and discover means
Of thwarting it.
A highly sensitive high speed
camera was used to catch the light
ming flash in the act OF striking one
Of the high voltage lines. This CAM
era, equipped with a cathode ray
oscillograph. is so sensitive to lights
that it was able to photograph the
flash OF lightning In 40 millionths
Of q second.
Not only that, but the camera was
able to record the progress and in
tensity of that flash within this in
finitesimal time. The negative show
ed that before five millionths OF a
second had passed, the voltage wave
OF the lightning flash had climbed to
1900, 900 volts. 4 local disturbance,
due to an induction flash-ove and
reflection caused a rise to $500, 900
volts in fraction of a miliionth of q
second. This ripple then died down
in q mlllionth of a second, the wave
passed to below dangerous values
in another ten millionths of a second
and then to zero-all in 4 total OF
40 millionths OF a second.
The interesting feature Of this
photograph of natural lightning is
the fact that it shows tbs charac-
teristics predicted in the artificial
lightning studies OF r. w. Peck, Jr.,
at General Electric laboratories at
Pittsfield, Mass. 1t may help consid-
erably toward the control OF high
voltage Transmission despite the dan
gers OF lightning.
