PRCo used these wood strain insulators to insulate span wires from line poles. On curves it was quite common to connect the clevis end to the hanger and use the eye end to string a backbone wire parallel to the trolley wire in addition to running a span to a pole. A common measuring distance is from the center of the clevis to the center of the eye. What was the standard distance on PRCo? O-B lists the following measurements (all in *inches*, of course!)::::::: 7.5666 8 9.4334 10 11.5 James B.
