APPLICATION TO AND REPLIES FROM THE LOCAL HONORARY SECRETARIES OF THE

SOCIETY OF TELEGRAPH ENGINEERS AND CERTAIN OTHER DISTINGUISHED FOREIGN

AUTHORITIES.

In accordance with a resolution passed by the delegates at the meeting

on October 27, 1879, the following circular was prepared by the

Secretary, and issued to the gentlemen named in the appended table.

30, GREAT GEORGE STREET,

WESTMINSTER, S.W.

_October 31st, 1879_

Dear Sir,—At the invitation of the Meteorological Society, delegates

have been nominated by the following societies:—Royal Institute of

British Architects, Society of Telegraph Engineers, Physical

Society, Meteorological Society, to consider the present modes of

erecting lightning conductors, and improvements therein.

At the last meeting I was instructed to ask you to have the kindness

to furnish the conference with copies of such papers or reports as

may be convenient, and as are generally accepted as authoritative in

your country.

Yours very truly,

G. J. SYMONS.

The following are abstracts of the replies received:—

Nov. 5th, Copenhagen.—Mr. C. L. Madsen acknowledging receipt of letter

and promising further reply.

Nov. 6th, Belgium.—M. Melsens acknowledging receipt, and promising full

reply.

Nov. 7th, La Haye.—Mr. J. M. Collette acknowledging receipt of circular

and stating that lightning conductors are not in common use in Holland,

that there are no official and scarcely any other publications upon the

subject. Those who have to erect conductors upon public buildings

usually rely upon the rules adopted in countries where the use of

lightning conductors is more general.

Nov. 13th, Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein.—Dr. Karsten forwarding copy of the

latest edition of his work on lightning conductors (See Abstracts of

Printed Documents, pages (114) and (119).)

Nov. 16th, Rome.—Sig. E. D’Amico acknowledged receipt.

Dec. 1st, Christiana.—M. C. Nielsen acknowledging receipt, and

forwarding copy of paper by Prof. Mohn on “Lynildens Farlighed i Norgi.”

(See Abstracts, page (106) which he states is the only paper on the

subject printed in Norway.)

Dec 4th, Belgium.—Letter from M. Melsens, sending series of his works.

(See Appendix G.; Catalogue and Appendix F. pages (137) to (141).)

Dec. 7th, Copenhagen.—Mr. C. L. Madsen writes:

“In continuation of my letter of 5th ult, I have great pleasure in

forwarding a copy (enclosed) of ‘Regulations for the Arrangement and

Construction of Lightning Conductors for Military and Public

Buildings in Denmark, as adopted by the Royal Engineers, 1869,’

which I have translated from the Danish original, and obtained the

permission to place at the disposal of the Conference. The rules

laid down in this paper are generally accepted as authoritative in

Denmark, and have been followed in the erection of Lightning

Conductors on the new Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.

“I beg to add that in case a printed report is to be published by

the Conference, I shall feel much obliged by having a few copies

sent to me, and that I shall have great pleasure in continuing to

have my attention directed to the subject.”

REGULATIONS FOR THE ARRANGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF LIGHTNING

CONDUCTORS FOR MILITARY AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN DENMARK, AS ADOPTED BY

THE ROYAL ENGINEERS, 1869.

(_Translated from Danish._)

To obtain a perfect system of lightning conductors it is necessary

to observe:

1. That the lightning conductor must be more exposed to the stroke

of lightning than the building itself.

2. That the lightning, after having struck the conductor, shall

traverse the conducting wire to the earth more readily than through

any other neighbouring object.

3. That the lightning conductor is not destroyed by the stroke of

lightning.

A. _Arrangement._

On the highest points of the building are placed _iron rods_, of

such a length and number that no part of the building lies farther

from the perpendicular line through the point of the rod, than twice

the height of the point above the place of the rod. The lower ends

of the rods are connected to a metallic conductor, _top conductor_,

which follows the upper line of the building. From the top

conductor, or from the rods, and at least from each three of these,

_conducting wires_ are led down the roof and outer wall (best on the

weather-side), and thence one foot under the earth, until about ten

feet from the building. Here the wires are connected to the _earth

plate_ in a well, the bottom of which well must reach a couple of

feet under the lowest standing of the ground water. Each well, with

its plate, ought at the utmost to serve three conducting wires. If

necessary to employ more wells than one, the plates of these are

joined up through a special conductor, the _earth conductor_, one

foot under the surface of the earth. Great care must be taken that

the earth plate is properly placed in ground water, that more or

less communicates with the ocean—a condition which, in our country,

will hardly present insurmountable difficulties.

[Illustration: Sketch of arrangements for Public Buildings in Denmark]

Figure 1 shows a system of lightning conductors for a building 100

feet long, with gable roof.
