The cableside of the insulator is front. On tangents feeder shall be carried by single arms havinginsulators on wood pins; on angles less than 10 deg. bysingle arms, and on angles greater than 10 deg. by doublearms, in either case having porcelain insulators on metalpins. Splices in solid feeder shall be made with an approvedconnector; in stranded feeder shall either be made with anapproved connector, or shall be of the wrapped cable type,tapered uniformly to size of original feeder at ends. Ininsulated feeder either type shall be smoothly taped to theequivalent covering. Wrapped cable type splice shall be made by stripping theends to be spliced for 24 in., unlaying and brightening 18 these bare ends, cutting out the core strand of each, andpassing wires of one end between those of other end andlaying parallel with main Top t:= Overhead Construction—Insulator Ties, Feed Anchor andCable Type Splice The wires of one strand either side of middle of spliceare then close served over main portion and rest of wiresof that end; a second pair of strands is similarly served on,and so on, until the last pair of strands serve simply on themain portion. The splice shall then be sweated full ofsolder and smoothly taped to equivalent of original insula-tion if cable is insulated. Lead-covered or specially insulated or covered cablesshall be spliced under special instructions, and then only bymen experienced in that particular class of work. Bare feeder may be used on private right-of-way andwherever else practicable; weatherproof feeder shall beused where required and where frequent trees or otherobstacles would cause grounds if bare cable were used. Where long spans, long heavy grades, or other conditionscause unusually heavy strains, feeders shall be anchored bymechanical clamps of a
