	Just checked the Current Line catalog of Ed & Mary Miller (also online
http://www.currentlinemodels.com/) and their part C-620 is the wood
strain insulator; it appears that C-621 is the glass-porcelain
insulator.

	They also have line pole crossarms for stringing feeders:::::::

	C-425 has three insulators - uneven spacing -
		for stringing feeders, and one bracket
		from the crossarm pointing down to attach to
		the line pole for support.
	C-426 has 4 insulators in pairs on either side of the arm
		with a sharp "V" bracket for support on the line pole.
	C-427 has 3-insulators - uneven spacing -
		with a wide "V" bracket.

	Prices as of mid 1990s:::::::::

		C-620	$1.15 / pkg of 24.
		C-621	$1.15 / pkg of 24.
		C-425	$2.45 / pkg of 06.
		C-426	$2.45 / pkg of 06.
		C-427	$2.45 / pkg of 06.

	Also for line poles:::::::

		C-630	Line Section Box	$1.50 (3)
		C-625	Phone jacks		$1.50 (3)
		B-640	Line Poles		$2.50 (pair)
		B-641	Single bracket pole	$2.95
		B-642	Double bracket pole	$2.95

	With the exception of the line poles, these are all white metal
castings.
