Page 115. Section 4.8
The heading
        "INDUCTANCE OF COMPOSITE CONDUCTORS"
should be changed to
        "INDUCTANCE OF BUNDLED OR STRANDED CONDUCTORS".

Four lines below the heading the word "composite" should be replaced with "stranded or bundled".

Seven lines below the heading the word "composite" should be replaced with "bundled".

Composite conductors make use of two or more different types of materials for the various strands. ACSR is one example of a composite conductor (See Figure 4.2, page 104.) Thre are other newer-techonology composite conductors. For example see this news release. Composite conductors are not the particular subject of Section 4.8 of this text.
