The lower part of eachleg is shaped intotwo fingers, whichgrip around theinsulator head inthe tie-wiregroove. To pre-vent fracture ofthe porcelain, fiberor copper cushionsare used betweenthe metal of thecap and the por-celain. Each clampleg may be ad-justed separatelyso as to provide an accurate grip on slightly oval or irregular shapedinsulators. The upper part of the clamp fingers isthreaded and a set screw is used to bring the fingersinto contact with the insulator head. The insulator capsare made to fit all standard types of INSULATOR CAP MOUNTED ON ,000-VOLT LINE INSULATOR New York Executives Meet at Syracuse As this issue goes to press, Sept. 18, officials of theelectric railways of New York State were in sessionat Hotel Onondaga, Syracuse, to consider the presentcondition of the industry in the State. The meetingwas held under the auspices of the New York ElectricRailway Association, and was called by President E. , Jr., at the request of the committee on waysand means to produce additional revenue, J. K. Choate,chairman. It will be remembered that the committeereported to the association at the Lake George meetingheld on June 7 to the effect that the governor hadbeen petitioned to appoint a committee to make a studyof the traction situation, but that the governor hadstated that such a committee is constituted by the Pub-lic Service Commission.
