The r.p:,r.r. of Fr of p G. ,.c~dinskiy, was devoted to the problem, "Losses
of A:trve Power in Transmitting Reactive Power and How to Lower Them". The
speaker gave a detailed account of a simplified procedure for calculating
the active power losses and. the so-called economic equivalent of reactive
power. Firthermore, P, G Gru.din.skiy assessed various equipment for improv-
ing pc s r factor and critically examined the existing system of tariffs on
the payment for electric power,
Professor I I. Solov'yev read a paper, "The Party Spirit in Teaching
the Techrical Disciplines in the Higher Technical Schoolo,, He explained
the basic. problems of t-.hi.s task, and examined concrete examples occurring
in r.he following couir.ses~ "Electrical Network= and Systems"; "Electric
Power Station:;" "Relrv Protection and Automatization of Electrical Systems."
One of the meetings of the Electrical Systems Section was devoted to
discussing the plan for revising a textbook written by a group of authors
and edited by Prof A- A. Glaznnov, "Electric Power Stations and Substations,"
wit-13 the object. of abridging it to require only 45 quires of paper. In a
report read by Doctor of Technical Sciences Prof A. A. Glazunov several
variations of setting up the textbook were examined,
The report. of Engineer N. P. Astakhov entitled, "Wooden Supports for
High-Voyage Li.nes, and Their Operational Reliability," as well as the speeches
of specialists present, showed that the permissible voltages for 6ooden sup-
port.e, selected in accordance with the recommendations of the Rules for the
lr,t?al.lat.ion of Elec:troteChnical Installations, do not guarantee reliable,
prolonged operation of support. on lines. The conference elected a commission,
which wa assigned the. task of examining the pertinent paragraphs in the
regulations and making recommendations for appropriate changes. The pro-
posals of the commission were then forwarded to the Technical Division of the
Ministry of Electric Power Stations.
The paper, "The Life and Activity of R. E., Klasson," was read by Candi-
date. of Technical Sciences, S. 9.. Ui1yanov, who gave a detailed account of
the work of this remarkable engineer and scientist, especially noting his
participation In the construction of the first electric transmission line
in the world, which was none under the leadership of M. 0. Dolivo-Dobrovol'skiy.

especially on the use of 110 and 35 kv
of 110 kv feeders is limited, the speaker recommended wider utilization of
35 kv voltage..
In the Theoretical Electrical Engineering Section, Candidate of Tech-
nical Sciences R. I. Karayev, read a paper entitled "The High-Power Open
Arc..." A number of sessions of this section was devoted to discussing future
optional courses of the Chair of Theoretical Principles of Electrical I.
Engineering? Doctor of Technical Sciences Professor K. M. Polivanov gave
iples
an accouq~ of the course "Theory of Circuits," which includes the iniples
of the theory of circuits, matrix calculation, frequency and amplitude-
characteristics, and the theory of nonlinear oscillations. Professor V. Yu.
Lomonosov critically examined the problem of the course "Field Calculations,"
Candidate of Technical Sciences Docent A. I. Darevskiy, devoted his speech
to the "Electrodynamics" course. Professor K. M. PoliVanOV proposed the

In the Illumination Engineering Section, Candidate of Technical Sciences,
V. I. Lugovskiy, Central Scientific Research Institute of Industrial Structures
(TsNIPS) read a paper entitled, "The Problem of Standardizing Luminescent
Ld grt.ing." He gave an analysis of capital expenditures and operational costs
which confirmed the advisability of using luminescent lamps in industrial instal-
lations. Candidate of Technical Sciences KeaP?a Breport elov, Scientific Researc
