Pot-Head Insulator.—An illustrated description of a combined pot-head and insulator for leading in telegraph wires. The lead-covered wire is brought up inside the first insulator, shown on the left of Fig. 5, through a hole in the top into a separate compartment, which is filled up solid with insulating material when the connection has been made.

One of the wires of the pair is taken through the hole in the porcelain to the aerial wire, in the manner shown in the right-hand insulator, and the second wire is joined to another lead-covered cable, which goes up to the second insulator, and is led up in the same way.—Manchester Exhibition Supplement, Lond.
