SUPERHIGH-VOLTAGE POWER LINES
Primary source:

Extract :
A new transformer oil leng-
thens the service life of superhigh-
voltage+power transmission line equip-
ment by five times.
A process for
manufacturing this oil has been devel-
oped by Azerbaydzhan scientists. With
respect to properties, it substantial-
ly surpasses all oils in use for sim-
ilar purposes.
Doctor of Technical Sciences R. Sh.
Kuliyev, head of an oil chemistry and
technology laboratory, told an Azerin-
form correspondent:
"Heightened
demands are being made in oils that
are used for filling large-capacity
transformers.
And in creative colla-
boration with our colleagues of the
A11-Union Scientific Research Insti-
tute of the Oil Refining Industry
and industrial specialists of the
Baku Oil Refinery, we have succeeded,
through intensive refining, in devel-
oping an oil that meets these require-
ments."

Space Flight Control
Center, September 19 (TASS) -- As of
1:00 p.m., Moscow time, the spaceship
"Soyuz-38", which is piloted by an
international crew, had completed 10
orbits around the earth.
Cosmonauts Yuriy Romanenko and
Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez have carried
out planned operations for monitoring
the ship's onboard systems, and they
have executed the first twin-pulse
maneuver for the long-distance approach
to the orbiting complex "Salyut-6" --
"Soyuz-37".
Following the correction of the
flight trajectory, the orbit para-
meters of the "Soyuz-38" spaceship
are:
maximum distance from the surface
of the earth -- 320 kilometers; minimum
distance from the surface of the earth
-- 278 kilometers; period of revolution --
90.2 minutes:
