Fred Locke Boron-Aluminum-Silicate (Glass Suspension) Insulators.

Boron-Aluminum-Silicate Insulators.

Patents were issued to Fred M. Locke, Victor, N. Y., on February 2, for boron-aluminum-silicate and boron-silicate insulators. The accompanying illustration shows the form in which the insulators are at present being produced. Mr. Locke claims that these insulators meet all requirements for extra-high-tension work, and show remarkable performance characteristics for high-frequency service up to 500,000 cycles. The insulators are especially designed for high specific inductive capacity, high dielectric and mechanical strength, and they will be developed in several styles for high-voltage transmission lines, for condenser work, condenser terminals, bushings, and also in special shapes.
