Hammond Cleat

THE HAMMOND CLEAT

The Hammond Cleat.

We illustrate in the accompanying engraving the new Hammond cleat which has just been put on the market. The illustration explains the action of the cleat so that it is hardly necessary to describe it. It is simplicity itself. As will be seen, it is all in one part, being essentially different in this particular from any other cleat, and can thus be attached to the ceiling or wall when necessary, complete, before the wires are strung. It is made of the finest grade of porcelain, and being in one piece furnishes the quickest and easiest method of wiring. It does away entirely with the unsightly tie wire, and can be made with one, two or three openings, which are adapted to receive all the ordinary sizes of wire without injuring the insulation. It holds the wire firmly in position, and as the wire winds on the body of the insulator and not on the retaining points, all breaks are avoided. The Hammond cleat probably excels all other cleats in the saving of time and material, and the prices are exceedingly low.

It is being made by the Hammond Cleat and Insulator Company, whose office is at 220 Devonshire street, Boston, and of which Mr. F. W. Brigham is the secretary.
