Author's Response
Thanks for sharing your experience
with the Westinghouse T&D Reference
Book. As for the subsequent work beyond the 1950 fourth edition referenced
in my "History" column, the "Foreword" of the 1959 edition of volume 3,
Distribution Systems written by Joseph
K. Dillard, manager, Electric Utility Engineering Department, Westinghouse
Electric Corporation, states:
...due to success of the "T&D
Book" as the original volume
came to be called, leading distribution engineers continually
requested a companion volume
dealing exclusively with distribution systems. We began preparing it in 1956. But by the time the
first draft was completed, it was
apparent that we could not write
a separate volume on distribution systems without duplication

a number of chapters covering
basic principles that had already
been published in the fourth edition of the "T&D Book." About
this time, many of the advances
mentioned [earlier in this "Foreword"] were coming in for a
serious consideration. Thus, it
became evident that a major revision of the "T&D Book" would
be needed fairly soon. This
prompted an entirely new plan
for an Electric Utility Engineering Reference Book that would
provide a complete reference
to all the engineering fields encountered in the utility industry.
It consists of three volumes written by the Westinghouse Electric
Utility Engineering and has the
following subtitles:
✔ Volume 1 - System Analysis and Generation

NY, USA

Head Office Branch Offices

Innovation prevails!

Ithaca, NY

Taipei, TWN | Beijing, CHN

and System Protection
✔ Volume 3 - Distribution
Systems
Because of the great need,
Volume 3 is published first. ...
This volume is written principally as an information source
and reference for the Electric
Utility Distribution Engineer
to help in the solution of daily and long-range distribution
problems. ...
The authors of the 12 chapters over
567 pages of Volume 3 include R.F.
Lawrence, S.B. Griscom, L.W. Manning, D.N. Reps, H.E. Lokay, B.L.
Lloyd, Miles Maxwell, D.M. Sauter,
and Robert A. Zimmerman.
