Buffington and Dow Cleat

THE B. AND D. CLEAT

The accompanying illustration shows the "B. & D.," or Buffington and Dow cleat, made by E. W. Buffinton, Fall River, Mass. With this cleat very rapid and neat work can be done.

The B. & D. Cleat.

As the wires are held taut, with but slight pressure of the screws on the cleat, the pressure required to firmly hold the wires in position is so slight that no cleats are broken by the wiremen while securing them to the walls. This feature is of great importance as it is a fact well-known to wiremen that there is apt to be a great loss by breakage. These cleats comply with all the rules and requirements of insurance inspectors or electrical engineers and are fully protected by patents.
