A bond with these features was finally perfected by and is now made by his company. Some of the dis-tinguishing points will be noted from the accompanyingillustration. It may be said also that the terminals are increasedin area and reduced in thickness to a point where expansionand contraction do not pull them loose from the rail. A NEAT SPLICE PROTECTOR To provide a ready means of complying with the require-ments of the National Electric Code and afford neater andsafer molding work than has heretofore been possible an. COMPLETED BRANCH, SHOWING APPLICATION OF THESPLICE PROTECTOR, BUT WITH THE CAP REMOVED ingenious splice protector for use wherever it is desired tomake a branch or tap in a molding line has been devised byJordan Brothers, of New York. This protector affordsa solid, substantial soldered and insulated splice andprovides a fire and waterproof porcelain protection at thepoint where the insulation resistance of the rubber coveringon the wire is impaired by the unavoidable splice. As it isheld in position by the capping of the molding and is prac-tically invisible, no whittling of molding or capping isnecessary. There are no exposed wires at the point where thesplice is made and no chance of capping nails being driventhrough the splice. Its use makes all work uniform, as onebranch is an exact copy of others. The splice protector ismade for two or three-wire branches or any combinationthereof. A completed branch or tap with capping removedis shown in the accomp
