Insulated

The insulators are made up of individual units that are linked together. Each glass disc is about 12 inches in diameter and is comprised of a metal cap on the top side, and a metal pin on the under side. The glass in the middle acting as the insulation. Believe it of not, these caps and pins are glued (cemented) to the glass and can support a pull of about 12 tons!

 

A pulley hangs ready for the pull of the new wire.
