LOCKE INSULATORS ON HIGH TENSION CIRCUITS

In our issue of last week we published an interesting article on the Nevada County Electric Power Company, in which mention was made of the pole line, carrying triple petticoat porcelain insulators. We have since learned that this excellent material is furnished by Mr. Fred M. Locke, whose porcelain and glass insulators and steel insulating pins have met with considerable favor in different parts of the country in construction work, and especially for high tension circuits for light and power.
