Hammond Cleats and Insulator.
In the accompanying illustrations are shown the two and three wire cleats and single wire insulator placed on the market by the Hammond Cleat & Insulator company, of Boston. Fig. 1 shows the two wire cleat, the chief characteristic of which is the fact that it is made in one piece of glazed porcelain, and furnishes a quick and easy method of wiring, while it does away with the tie wire. It holds the wire firmly, as can be readily understood by reference to the cut, and as the wire binds on the insulator and not on the retaining points, all breaks are avoided. A considerable saving of time and material is also claimed for this form of cleat. This device can be supplied with one, two or three openings, which are adapted to receive ordinary sizes of wire without injuring the insulation. Fig. 2 shows the three wire cleat of this type, which, it will be seen, closely resembles the two wire cleat, and embodies all the features of the latter. The single wire insulator is shown in Fig. 3. It is intended for use with arc wires or single wiring of any kind. Like the other cleats it is made in one piece and requires no tie wire.
