Lineman's Vantage Point
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", February 2006, page 16
Retired lineman Bob Jackson says the pictures of these large porcelain
multipart insulators were taken just before they were changed out for modern
insulators. Bob described the location as being near Knight's Landing in
California. Found on the line a wide variety of multi's...including M-4325's,
M-3725's, M-4140's, M-4321B's, M-4382's and M-4415's. The line is mentioned in
some detail in on pages 76 & 77 in Elton Gish's book, Multipart Porcelain
Insulators. Installed around 1905, some of the insulators remained in service
until just a few years ago.
