Glass Insulators

Glass Insulators

Picked up a few more insulators. These were a little different than others I own.

Smallest one:
HEMINGRAY -9 (CD 107)
DATE CODE: 10-42::(1946)
"This design was chosen to replace the popular CD 106 because it used less glass and was generally considered more robust."

HEMINGRAY CD 128 CSA
DATE CODE: 45-41. (1942)
Early CSA insulator. Apparently a lot of these are faked.
"This style is a carrier circuit insulator used for long distance telephone lines and was used in conjunction with a special steel pin with a lead lining (hence the "C" for Carrier Circuit and "S" for Steel pin; the meaning of "A", "O", and second "C" are unknown.) This style was also assigned the No.22CSC style number in 1942-1944, but no specimens exist with this style number."

ARMSTRONG'S TW #42
DATE CODE: 42 50..(1952)
Funny story..looking for information about Armstrong's insulators, I stumbled across my own post...ha ha Forgot I had more Armstrong's.

***I will link that post in the comments, for those wanting to read up on Armstrong's insulators. In the comments of that post is some excellent insulator links.

***I found an excellent site for Hemingray insulators that i quoted from and will link that as well.
