The Pennsylvania R. R. and Brooks Insulators.

 

THE announcement, in a recent number of THE TELEGRAPHER, that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, after abandoning the use of BROOKS' Improved Paraffine Insulators, and, under Western Union influence, returning to glass insulation, to the great detriment of its telegraph facilities, had again resumed the use of the Paraffine Insulators, has caused considerable comment, as the previous action of the road had been used as an evidence that the BROOKS Insulators were not what was claimed for them.

Having again got on the right track, the telegraph managers of the Pennsylvania road are showing their appreciation of the fact. The company are putting up a new and additional line between Renovo and Kane, on the Philadelphia and Erie road, using the BROOKS Patent Insulator.
