| Description: |
"Railway telegraph lines were very much a part of the Canadian landscape. As these lines are being replaced with microwave and fibreoptics, an important component of our railway history is being lost. Canadian railway communications insulators are now even more important as historical artifacts, making possible the vital communications that 100 years later we now take for granted."
The book is a study and inventory of Canadian railway insulators known to exist. Covered are 232 glass and 43 porcelain Canadian railway "Beehive" insulators identified; illustrated examples of over 275 different insulator molds and mold revisions; full-size photos and illustrations for each of all 68 major groupings; 269 black and white photographs, over 300 drawings; 36 colour photographs; update subscription service available for up-to-date specimen additions; colour listings and indentification sections; offset printed on high quality bright paper. |
