CD175 Hemingray #25
Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", September 1971, page 20
Dear Dora,
In regards to the question of the use of the Hemingray #25. They were used in
this area of the country in Government built housing projects in the late 1930's
- early 1940's. They are a secondary or low-voltage insulator. They were used
where the house services bucked off to go into the houses. Often there were
three or more services to be dead ended on the glass, therefore demanding more
than just a single wire groove. In some cases they used #2 w. weatherproof wire
which is fairly large and used up quite a bit of space. My explanation is
probably as clear as mud, but I hope I have gotten the general idea across to
you.
See rough sketch,
