 1851
U Specimen known 8,418 October 14, 1851 Improvement in Insulators for Telegraph Wires
Metal or cast iron insulator with cupped dry area at bottom. Glass poured in with a conductor supporting iron rod embedded in the glass, and the cupped is coated or lined with glass, porcelain, or enamel. The bottom skirt is slanted inward 45 degrees to prevent water from splashing up inside wetting the interior surface. This feature was utilized in U-983 and U-984 made by the U. S. Pottery Co. in Bennington, VT.
