Insulator of the Month
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", November 2005, inside cover
These three Fred M. Locke uniparts are favorites of Linda's and myself, in
part because we found them ourselves. They were used on a telephone line that
ran on sidepegs below a power line that used classic M-2795's. While collectors
harvested the gutter tops decades ago, these small insulators went undetected,
hidden under nearly a hundred years worth of accumulated pine needles and leaves
until we dug them out.
