Four specimens of Brooks insulators described

WE acknowledge the receipt of four specimens of the Brooks Patent Insulator inserted in cross arms and brackets ready to attach to the pole.

Specimen No. 2 is a plug bracket, ten thousand of which are now being used by the N. Y. N. F. & L. Telegraph Co. No. 1 is also a bracket, to be fastened by two six-inch galvanized spikes, and to be used by the same company upon their new lines. A letter from Mr. Supt. Mackay says he is much pleased with the working of the Cape Breton line, which has been reinsulated with this insulator.

Specimen No. 3 is a four-foot cross-arm, with one insulator at each end, and No. 4 is a six-foot cross-arm with two insulators at each end. The blocks and arms are of white pine, to be fastened with galvanized bolts and spike. They are as neat a fixture as we have seen since our advent into the business.
