NEW GENERAL ELECTRIC WIRING APPLIANCES
The General Electric Company have lately designed certain new porcelain wiring appliances to meet the insurance requirements.
 |
| Figs. 1 and 2. |
The cleat, Figs. 1 and 2, is formed of two pieces exactly alike, in which the groove is so shaped that it will take a wire up to 5/16 inch in diameter, and the wires are 2-1/2 inches apart, as specified in the insurance rules. The knob, Figs. 3 and 4, is designed to hold wires from 3/16 to 1/2 inch, and to do away with the unsightly tie wire.
 |
| Figs. 3 and 4. |
The top and bottom are each provided with four grooves of different dimensions so that any wires within the range given may be secured. This knob is 1-1/2 inches high and 2 inches in diameter, the wire being held 1/2 inch from the ceiling.
 |
| Fig. 5. |
The floor and window tube, Fig. 5, has a central hole 5/8 inch in diameter and a head 2-1/4 inches in diameter. It is 1-3/8 inches outside diameter and 3-3/4 long. These porcelain appliances, like all the others made by the General Electric Co., are of the best hard white vitrified non-absorbent porcelain of the highest resistance.
