Aeroplanes Used OWDPDR leakages in electrical transmission lines may now be detected by aeroplanes equipped with a speci form of trouble locator, and have bee used by an American power company. The pilot follows the lines across country, flying low, and the apparatus not’ only detects a leak instantly but indicates the pole at which it may be found. It is now proposed that the airplane also carry repair parts in readiness to be dropped overboard where a leak is found. In an emergency a repair crew would also be carried and landed by means of parachutes at the point where the trouble was detected. -- -_
