Electric Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., and is shown in theaccompanying illustrations. The clamps devised for stranded wire and aluminumconductors are made in the clevis style. It will be seenthat the clamping principle applied, as shown in the ac-companying phantom view, is the simplest of all, name-ly, the wedge. The clamp proper consists of a conical- 806 ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL [Vol. XLV, No. 17 shaped socket and conical wedge. The wedge is slottedto allow compression and has a hole through the centerfor the passage of the core or center wire. The strand is first inserted in the socket, and thetapered plug is forced over the core or center wire sothat the sheath wires are spread apart. The cable isthen drawn back into the so
