Insulator for High-Voltage Transmission With the rise in transmission line voltage insulation problemshave been introduced of no mean proportions in long-distancepower transmission engineering, and to meet these new conditionsthere has been worked out special types of pole-line illustration of this class is shown herewith. It comprises the. HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION INSULATOR latest type of these insulators, and is placed alongside a standardglass telegraph insulator for the purpose of showing their relativesize. The former is 14 ins. across the hood, 11^2 ins. high andweighs 18 lbs. The manufacturer, Fred. M. Locke, of Victor,N. Y., says that the insulator is made of a special mixture of clay,and that it will withstand a test voltage of 160,000 and a workingvoltage of 80,000.
