Fig. 2 gives the similar results of a test which was re-peated on another day. Table II. gives the loads in theseveral feeder sections. Fig. 3 gives the potential relation between pipe and railalong the line of the first test-wire. The full line repre-. different days. The current relations in the several shadedfeeder sections for Figs. 4 and 5 are shown in Tables V. Attention is called to two sets of results, in each caseunder three-wire operation. While the upper set of obser-vations was being taken, section 70 was feeding in the usualmanner; whereas, while the lower set of observations wasbeing taken it was fed from the other side of the three-wiresystem. Figs. 6 and 7 show the potential relations on the pipealong the line of the second test-wire under two-wire andthree-wire operation, and it is clearly seen that in thesecases the potential differences between pipe and rail haveIseen almost eliminated. The load relations of the sectionswhile these observations were being taken are shown inTables VI. and VII. Fig. 8 gives the return drop along the line of the thirdtest-wire. While the three-wire system was in operation sec-tion 70 was fed part of the time from one side and the restof the time f
