A Wrought Iron Universal Bracket

Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", April 1973, page 19

The illustration shows a wrought iron universal bracket that is being manufactured by the Hallett Iron Works, of 92-96 West Polk street, Chicago. This iron was designed especially for telephone use and is the result of practical experience. It is universal in its application and can be used as a wall fixture, as a break arm, and for cross arm purposes, and with two especially designed iron cleats as a corner iron. There is practically no wear out or break to the fixture, and when taken down after use it is to all intents as good as new. All telephone engineers fully realize the advantage of glass insulators over porcelain knobs for supporting telephone circuits. This is one of the points that the makers of the fixture call attention to. The Hallett company will be glad to quote prices and give any further information to those interested.
