LOCKE INSULATOR CORPORATION

 

Locke porcelain was first marketed in 1894. For 35 years Locke engineers, with every facility for research, have striven to improve both material and design and to determine from study of operating conditions, the particular design best fitted to given loads and climatic conditions.

The Locke plants at Baltimore, Md., and Victor, N. Y., have a combined capacity of 40 kilns.

The plant reception committee included K. A. Hawley, chief engineer, W. A. Weldon, D. H. Rowland, H. O. Jensen, Clarence Springer, R. McCoy, J. A. Robertson, and Oscar Christensen.
