Ohio Brass third-rail insulator

New Patented Third-Rail Insulator.

The third-rail insulator illustrated herewith is known as the Ohio Brass Company's type K. It is held in position by means of a bar-iron forging lagged to the tie. Across the bottom of the insulator are slots, recesses at each end to provide clearance for lag-screw heads. The forging may be exteded to provide a support for a protection board, if so desired. A large number of these insulators have proved highly satisfactory on an important eastern road.
