Elementary Lectures on Electric Discharges, Waves and Impulses, and Other Transients - lines 4745-5520
This section of Elementary Lectures on Electric Discharges, Waves and Impulses, and Other Transients is routed through waves and transmission lines, transients, lightning surges, radiation and light. Read it first for Steinmetz’s source language, then use the notes below to decide what requires scan review.
waves and transmission lines, transients, lightning surges, radiation and light, magnetism, impulse currents, lightning and surges

Read this as an early engineering treatment of non-steady electrical behavior: sudden charge, discharge, wave travel, damping, and surge stress.
Readable text is for study. Exact equations, symbols, captions, and page labels require scan verification; formula-like OCR fragments are isolated in the reader instead of treated as reviewed prose.
Verification notes and tags
This reader is optimized for study and discovery. Treat the text as a candidate reading layer until exact wording, equations, captions, and page labels are checked against the original scan.
OCR-derived candidate text. Verify against the scan before exact quotation.
