A Terminator / Pothead

These are usually seen strapped to the eaves of various building within a town and were believed to be used by Redifusion or 'Radio Relay' as part of an early urban radio network

Tapers!

This trio of taper line insulators look like they are made by 3 different manufacturers in three different sizes yet probably did the same job. They generally seemed to be associated with Military and Factory installations as part of the internal communications and power networks.
