Cable Terminal with DisconnectionFeature Improved An outdoor cable terminal of new design known asthe outdoor disconnection type has recently been placed on the market by the Stand-ard Underground Cable Com-pany, Pittsburgh, Pa. In thenew terminal all the copperparts are covered by a porce-lain hood, as shown in the il-lustration, thus permittingthe disconnection of the aerialextension wire even while thecircuit is alive. The stem ofthe new terminal is a modi-fication of the regular cap-nut stem and has some addi-tional advantages where fre-quent disconnection of theaerial circuit from the terminal is necessary to protectthe cable men while repairs are being OUTDOOR CABLE TERMINALWITH IMPROVED DISCON-NECTING FEATURE New Section Insulator with AdequateProvision Against Warping . A trolley-wire section insulator of improved designhas been developed by the Ohio Brass Company, Mans-field, Ohio. The insulating section is a fiber runningpiece which fits into a slot in a heavy compression beamwhich prevents it from warping and helps to give it a
