The demands for high-tension insulators have grown so rapidlyas to compel the erection of new works at Victor by Mr. contain the latest appliances used in the manufacture of in-sulators, and are two stories in height. The first floor containsthe separating and mixing vats and molding process, where thewater is squeezed out of the clay; also a great kiln for firing theinsulators. The second floor is used for molding, shaping anddrying. The insulators are burned at a very high temperature,and are vitrified throughout, increasing both their electrical andmechanical strength. The factory has a capacity of 60,000 in-sulators a Consolidation of Pennsylvania Roads All the street railway companies operating in and around Allen-town have been merged into one company known as the LehighValley Traction Company.
