INSULATOR — CROSS SECTION.
Insulator — Cross Section.

 

These insulators are of a new pattern, as shown by the accompanying cross sectional plan. They are made from the highest grade of porcelain, are 5-1/4 inches in diameter and weigh about two and one-quarter pounds each. The design of the insulator especially adapts it for use where structural strength and high insulation is necessary.
