. Journal of electricity, power, and gas . mall enough tobe installed inside the base of a lamp pole and is no moreexpensive than the ordinary forms of absolute cutout which May 21, 1910] JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY, POWER AND GAS. 485 do not provide any means of sealing in the ends of tlie cablesfrom moisture. This device can also be installed in manholesor handholes, as it will operate when submerged. This cutoutis also furnished for use simply as a cutout on overhead lineswhere the pot head feature is not required and is an absolutecutout in that the connections to the loop are entirely removedfrom the base which carries the circuit connections when theloop is disconnected. The subway cutout (shown in Fig. 7) is designed to takean enclosed fuse or a disconnecting switch blade as may bedesired. The lower part of the cutout is filled with compoundafter the cables are connected, thus providing an absolute sealagainst moisture getting into the cables. In addition to thisthe cover of the iron box is provided with a long overlap which. Fig s. jirevents any water from getting into the box in case it issubmerged. A rubber gasket in the cover prevents the circu-lation of moist air and thus preserves the arc smotheringmaterial in the enclosed fuse. These junction boxes are madefor two, three or four-conductor cables and for either straightconnections or half tap. The type S and type TS pot heads are designed forvoltages up to 15,000. For voltages from 15,000 to 35,000 thetype HS is provided. The type HS for single-conductorcable is shown in Fig. 8. This also is made up for multiple-conductor cables in a form similar to the type M.
