The interior of the ends of the sleeve are tapered, thesmall ends of the taper being at the outward ends of the connectorand large enough to admit the trolley wire. The severed ends ofthe wire are poked into the hole in the ends of the sleeve, and thenlocking devices in the form of toothed wedges, engage upon the sideof the ends of the wire and against the tapering inner walls of thesleeve, the wire being thus pinched between one wall of the sleeveand the locking wedges. It follows therefore that the harder thepull the tighter the grip. One. two. or four wedges may be used ineach end. With this coupling broken wires have been repaired bytwo men in three minutes. 27S STREET RAILWAY REVIEW. [Vol. X, No. s-.
