Bullers 2542
A recently observed insulator has driven me to produce this page with aim of procurring an example for myself. If you can help please contact me at Teleramics
This example is clearly stamped with a 1944 dated Bullers logo and what I presume to be a pattern Number, 2542, on the reverse face.
The spindle, not shown, appears to be cemented in which seems unusual for such a late dated insulator
As per most Bullers insulators of this date, the inner shed is recessed.
It is similar in dimensions and style to a large Terminator though obviously shorter due to there being only a single wire groove
Another very large wire groove cuts across the top which is quite unlike a P1600 which has a much smaller, thinner groove
American collectors have classified this insulator as possibly U-1718, though I need to confirm the dimensions.
Update
The U-1718 is dimensioned at 3.1/8in by 3.7/8in whereas this example measures 3.1/2in by 4.3/4in also it seems to have a deeper wire groove. Therefore I presume it is not a U-1718 but a new pattern maybe.
