Locke Insulating Devices.
The cuts show two of the insulating specialties that have made the name of Fred M. Locke of Victor, N. Y., famous. Fig. 1 represents Mr. Locke's patent triple-petticoat glass insulator for potentials up to 20,000 volts. This insulator is 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 4 1/2 inches high. It will carry with satisfaction any current up to 20,000 volts. The manufacturer supplied in December over 30,000 of these insulators, carrying potential up to 17,500 volts.
