Victor Tree Insulators

Victor Insulator and Hanger.

The cuts which are herewith presented illustrate applications of the Victor split insulator and the Victor hanger. The insulator is provided with an opening to accommodate the largest wires; it has perfectly smooth bearing and locking lugs, which torsion of the two parts may be bound together. The insulators being made in two parts they can be put upon a line already erected equally as well as upon a new one; and for taking up sag, and for "guys" and "hauling-off" purposes, they are extremely convenient. They may be used to increase the capacity of cross-arms by suspending them beneath. On elevated road structures and in tunnel work they are particularly useful.

Victor Hanger and Insulator.

The Victor insulator hanger is made in two sizes, 2 inches and 6 inches respectively, It consists of number 14 galvanized wire twisted together, except at the ends which surround the insulator. The ends are long enough to encircle the insulator twice when they are simply twisted together. The hanger is ordinarily made of number 14 galvanized steel wire. The upper end or bearing of the hanger is provided with a stout, smooth thimble that will withstand any abrasion, and which when hung on a hook, staple, or loop of wire, secures a practically universal joint admitting of free motion in all directions. The measurement of the hanger is taken from the center of the eye, or thimble, to the crotch where the wires divide to receive the insulator.
