Hawley Research

   

   

Ed Saulsbury of North Platte, Nebraska, and George Lahm of Callicoon, N. Y. both have the same idea on the Hawley, Pa. and the Sterling Companies. If we keep digging and researching maybe we can find positive proof in writing but right now their word is proof enough for me.

CD160 Commonly Known as Baby Signal

   

   

Above are two sketches of the C.D.#160 or as we call them, the "baby" signals. Your C.D.#160's may vary in size a little but hardly enough to notice it. The average height is 3 1/4", the width is 2 3/4". Below is a list of C.D.#160's as listed by Earl Armburst, Warren ...                    [more]

This insulator is embossed with the word Sterling on the front and pound sign on the rear. It is 3 1/8" wide at the base and 3 3/4" tall. It is aqua and is the same overall shape as ...                    [more]

Teflon For Insulators?

Teflon and alumina are combined in a new experimental high voltage insulator. Perhaps as few as one to two dozen are being tested at various sites throughout the country. Improvements realized in this new combination of materials are high insulation and qualities. However, advantages over porcelain in resisting ...                    [more]
