THE LAIN INSULATOR

 

The Lain insulator, for which a patent has been granted to Mr. A. R. Lain, and which is being introduced by Mr. Robert E. Lain, of 115 Broadway, possesses several distinct features of novelty. The accompanying illustrations clearly show the simplicity of the device. It is made in two parts with a groove to hold the wire and the parts are fastened together by the socket that holds the insulator in place, so that no tie wires are required, and no chafing can take place.

The Lain Insulator and Holder.

 

They are designed for electric light, telephone, fire alarm, and all other wires, from the largest to the smallest, and the socket, or holder is provided with either a spike or a screw as desired and can take any position on a pole. The absence of a tie wire is said to insure less leakage than ordinarily takes place, and the insulator is cheap, quickly put up, durable and convenient for transportation.
