The exhibit of the H. W. Johns Manufacturing company in space No. 216 shows a complete line of samples of the railway specialties and supplies manufactured by this company. The Vulcabeston insulating parts for motors and controllers are too well known to need any special description, although a new composition recently placed on the market under this trademark is practically fireproof and possesses insulating qualities said to be superior to anything else yet produced in this line. There is a large sale for the Vulcabeston commutator rings, which are being generally used in railway repair shops. Several styles of car heaters are exhibited, designed for length-wise and cross-seat cars, and of various types of finish. A special heater, to run singly on 500-volt circuits, is suitable for offices, waiting rooms, etc. Several different lines of overhead materials are shown; also the all-steel bracket arm, which has been having a large sale on account of its combined strength, neatness of appearance and moderate price. The flexible all-steel arm is unique in its design and simpler in construction than the usual span-wire type. There were present at the convention Mr. A. Hall Berry, manager of the electrical department of the company, Mr. J. E. Meek and Mr. S. G. Meek of the New York office, Mr. D. T. Dickson and J. W. Perry of the Philadelphia office, and Mr. E. B. Hatch and H. A. Luscomb of Hartford. Mr. H. C. Spaulding, New England manager of the company, is in charge of the exhibit.
