Teflon For Insulators?
Teflon and alumina are combined in a new experimental high voltage insulator.
Perhaps as few as one to two dozen are being tested at various sites throughout
the country. Improvements realized in this new combination of materials are high
insulation and qualities. However, advantages over porcelain in resisting

Above are two sketches of the C.D.#160 or as we call them, the
"baby" signals. Your C.D.#160's may vary in size a little but hardly
enough to notice it. The average height is 3 1/4", the width is 2
