Next came the plant of the New Lexington High Voltage Insulator Company, engaged in the manufacture of insulators for high voltage transmission lines. This plant is one of only three or four engaged in this specialty in the United States. It comprises some very unusual features. Views were given of the clayworking room, the kiln house, the ware in the stock shed, and the testing room, in which the insulators are exposed to the enormous figure of 135,000 volts, or about three times what they are ever expected to carry in practice in the highest tension lines.
