New Eichberg Tree Insulator.
The accompanying cut illustrates a new tree insulator which has just been placed upon the market by the Central Electric company, Chicago. The chief advantage claimed for this useful and necessary device to any overhead system is high insulation. At the base of the insulator pin is a spring. Through the use of this spring the wire is allowed to swing with the wind or motion of the tree, thus preserving the insulation and at the same time preventing the breaking of the wire. An adjustable base
is also so constructed that it may be easily placed at any angle to fit any limb and any size of wire. The Central Electric company claims that the new Eichberg tree insulator has been thoroughly tested in every kind of weather, and in every position, and has proven highly satisfactory.
