May 16, 1914.] JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY, POWER AND GAS 421 When built with regard to mechanical details,and with insulators ample for the voltage employed,these higher voltage lines have proved very satis-factory for rural load. The residential load varies from the small scat-tered loads in new real estate tracts to the compara-tvely high density in the older and more solidly built. Section 5- FUt •^<
