The development of water power and the transmission ofelectricity to distant points for distribution has made veryhigh voltages necessary and consequently there has been arecent demand for line material of the highest class. Line. FIG.

M. Locke, Victor, N. Y. The picture to theleft in Fig. i, is the triple petticoat Niagara type used inthe transmission lines from the Falls. This is made ofchina as are also the other two styles, No. 6 and Pony which are represented in the same cut.
