The tenth progress report of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory dc Superconducting Power Transmission Line (SPTL) Development Project covers the period April 1 to June 30, 1975. A number of line configurations, including a high voltage dc SPTL design, are examined from a cryoengineering point of view. New calculations on the cryostabilization of the superconductors are presented. Measurements of the critical current on several new superconductors and on a 20- m, well-stabilized Nb$sub 3$Sn tape are reported. Acoustical emission is being evaluated as a new technique to predetermine damage to Nb$sub 3$Sn conductors during cable fabrication. (auth)
