Company, Chicago, Ill., manufactures a line of porcelain bushings for metal and wood, together with all kinds of electric porcelain, high-tension porcelain foi busbar chambers, insulators, etc., together with standard electric porcelain dies and tools for same.

INSULATORS, TREE

DUNTON TREE INSULATORS are so constructed that they allow for the sway of tree when the wire is tied in solid to glass insulator. It is constructed so that any single, double or triple petti coated glass insulator that fits a standard pin can be used. It can be attached to any size limb over three-quarters inch in diameter. Two sizes are made, Size No. 1 is especially adapted for all wire up to and including 0000. Size No. 2 for railroad work, capable of ca.Tying any size wire up to and including one million circular mils.
