A New Porcelain Insulator
The accompanying cut, Fig. 1, represents in full size the new porcelain insulator manufactured by Fred M. Locke, Victor, N. Y. This insulator is made from the highest grade of hard porcelain ware and is designed for heavy lines which require a strong and durable support. The three petticoats on this insulator present a high insulating surface, which method of construction has proven so efficient in Mr. Locke's large triple-petticoat porcelain insulators for high-voltage power transmission.

The form of this insulator is such as to render it an easy matter to tie the cable and hold it securely in position.

Fig. 2 represents an illustration of the new heavy steel pin for street railway work which has been designed for use in combination with the insulator above described. This pin is claimed to be much stronger than any other pin on the market for this class of work, and satisfaction is guaranteed to those who use it.
