In two recent publications [C. W. Mendel, Jr. and S. E. Rosenthal, Phys. of Plasmas {bold 2}, 1332 (1995), C. W. Mendel, Jr. and S. E. Rosenthal, Phys. of Plasmas {bold 3}, 4207 (1996)] relativistic electron flow in cylindrical magnetically insulated transmission lines was analyzed and modeled under the assumption of negligible electron pressure. The model allows power flow in these lines to be accurately calculated under most conditions. The model was developed for coaxial right circular cylindrical electrodes. It is shown here that the model applies equally well to arbitrary cylindrical systems, i.e., systems consisting of electrodes of arbitrary cross section. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
