CD160 Commonly Known as Baby Signal
Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", January 1971, page 7
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
Olson, and Don Harned. This list is probably by no means complete, but is a
start on the C.D.#160's you may come across. If you have any not listed, please
contact Earl Armburst, 3292 4th Street, Boulder, Colorado,80302; Warren Olson,
34 North Main, Denison, Iowa, 51442; or Crown Jewels so that we may complete the
list of C.D.#160's NDP means no drip points, SDP means sharp drip points, and
RDP means round drip points.
