Design ID:The Design ID is the identification number for this insulator design. CD = Consolidated Design SI = Special Issue BT = Bushing & Tube UD = Unlisted Design |
CD 185 |
Primary Embossing:The Primary Embossing is typically found on the front of the insulator and usually identifies either the manufacturer (such as "Hemingray") or the company that the insulator was made for (such as "AM.TEL.&TEL.CO.") Insulators with No Name or No Embossing are denoted as such. |
NO EMBOSSING |
EIN:The Embossing Index Number (EIN) is a unique number assigned by the collecting hobby to each distinct embossing for an insulator design. It is normally shown in brackets, e.g. [050]. |
[010] |
Embossing:Most common terms: (F-Skirt): Front Skirt (R-Skirt): Rear Skirt /: New line of embossing {}: Special note (not embossed on the insulator) [#]: Represents a number Other terms: {MLOB}: Mold Line Over Base (F-Crown): Front Crown (R-Crown): Rear Crown (F-Umbrella): Front Umbrella (R-Umbrella): Rear Umbrella |
[No Embossing] |
Base Type:The base is the bottom of the insulator. Hemingray made 4 different types of bases: 1. SDP: Sharp Drip Points 2. RDP: Round Drip Points 3. CB: Corrugated Base 4. SB: Smooth Base |
