Safety wire holder

The Safety Insulator.

In the accompanying cut is shown a new safety insulator recently placed on the market by McLeod, Ward & Co., of 91 Liberty St., New York. It mechanical construction is entirely new. The cut shows the different parts and the insulator with the wire in place.

The insulating parts are made of porcelain and the frame and screw of iron in one piece. The screw is made in several styles to suit the class of work for which it is required, wood screws for wood work and plaster and machine screws for iron. The frame is easily secured in place and when in place will hold a considerable strain. The upper piece of porcelain is raised slightly at the center of the groove so that when the large porcelain is screwed tight the wire is bent slightly and is held firmly.

The Safety Insulator.

The insulator presents a very neat appearance and the absence of tie wire and ends adds much to the appearance of the work done. All parts are substantial and there is nothing which will wear out. It is made in several sizes: No. 1 for wire from No. 18 to 12, No. 2 for wire from No. 12 to 0 and No. 3 for wire from No. 6 to No. 0 B. & S. guage. A special tap and drill are furnished to be used in connection with the machine screws.
