Wade Insulator - Cross Section Drawing

Wade Insulator

Cross Section Drawing

This cut was taken from the book "Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph" by Frank L. Pope (1869) which depicted the insulator styles commonly used in that period and before.

This cross section shows the wood covering enshrouding a Wade glass insulator, which is attached to the wooden pin on the bracket.
