Rare U-908A JD Porcelain Insulators in Service Use

Allen County, Indiana

 

It is believed that these U-908A porcelain JD (Jeffery Dewitt) insulators were only used on one sub-transmission line here in northern Indiana. One section between Columbia City to Churubusco, Indiana, and the other section along Wallen Rd off of highway 33 northwest of Fort Wayne, Indiana

 

These porcelain insulator came in a nice light blue glaze and the other your typical brown glaze color. They have a cast iron crown applied to the top with the skirt ink stamp "MFG. JULY 1929" slightly stamped under the cast iron top.

 

This here shot was taken along Wallen Rd just northwest of Fort Wayne with six of the light blue glaze ones. The brown glaze ones were mixed in along this section of the sub-transmission line.
