The distance between the trolley and messenger is main-tained by a strut as shown. This arrangement is very flexibleand has been found to eliminate the pounding of the trolleywheel at suspension points and the effect of the trolley wheelon the wire, and the reduction of trolley trouble to a minimumhas been very marked on this particular Fig. 15—Shore Line Railway—Pull-Off Construction onCurve Between Guilford and Saybrook The anchor arrangements include separate clamps for mes-senger and trolley wires. These are attached to the bracketsand the brackets are in turn guyed to the adjacent poles. Themessenger clamp is located, as a rule, at the distance of approx-imately 10 ft. from the bracket; in this form of construction allthe strain is relieved from the messenger cable and is takenon the anchor guy. The trolley clamps for anchor ears are rent collector passes these points. A typical anchorage is shownin Figs. 17 and 18. The brackets are standard 2>4-in. by 2^2-in. by 5/16-in. gal-vanized T-irons with a guy rod y2 in. in diameter. The fittingsare of malleable iron, both insulators and anchorages beingattached with % hook holes. The porcelain insulators are
