| Description: |
The first book about Multipart Porcelain Insulators was published in
1988. It was the only book dealing exclusively with pin-type porcelain
insulators made up of 2-, 3-, and 4-shells cemented together. Only 345
styles of Multipart Porcelain Insulators were cataloged with M-Numbers.
This new 2nd edition book includes 227 new Multipart Styles for a total of
568 different styles -- and an amazing 5-part insulator has been added, too!
The new soft cover edition has a full color photograph on the cover
showing old multiparts in service in a beautiful mountain scene. The
380-page book has a detailed history of electrical power and of many early
power lines across the country using both glass (Provo, Muncie, Pomona,
Santa Ana) and porcelain insulators, patents, 38 pages of markings found on
multipart porcelain insulators, history of manufacturers, trade journal
advertisements, completely re-worked M-Chart, catalog cross-reference,
listing of all known multipart insulators, notes reported by collectors on
significant multipart styles, dozens of photographs of multipart porcelain
insulators from all types of sources, many photographs of northern
California lines that used Fred Locke M-2795's most of which have never been
published or seen by collectors, previously unknown photograph of the M-2795
assembly yard, details and photographs of the Bay Counties Carquinez
crossing, never before seen test photographs taken by Fred Locke circa 1904
(photos of Locke, Thomas, and Muncie insulators some of which are unknown
styles), Stone & Webster drawing of insulators from 1903-1904, a Value Guide
section to help the collector determine values for specific insulators, and,
of special interest, numerous sections written by collectors detailing
multiparts they found searching specific old power lines.
