Memorable Past Photos from
Issues of

INMR
Part 1
112
There’ s a well-known proverb:“ a picture is worth a 1000 words.” Recognizing this has in fact always been a fundamental part of our vision and mission statement. Indeed, INMR has always set itself apart from other technical and scientific journals in the T & D field in terms of the number and variety of unique photos it offers readers.
Of course, taking photos of an overhead line or substation is one thing. But being on the spot to capture a result or an event that links directly with the topic of a particular article – that requires planning and dedication( and sometimes just pure luck).
To mark this 100th issue, we have assembled some of our most interesting images covering 20 years of visits to power network across the globe. These represent only a tiny fraction of the thousands of photos published since INMR’ s first issue came out in September 1993. Nevertheless, they provide an indication of how effective an image can be to place the reader right into the context of the story.

A nighttime inspection of the main line that supplied the facility resulted in this remarkable photo that reveals partial flashovers in progress along the porcelain long rods.
