| Dimensions: | 6" Long |
Bore Size:The bore is the inner hole diameter of a bushing or floor/wall tube insulator, and is often tapered so that one end is wider (max) than the other (min). Hemingray measured the bore of their floor/wall tube insulators on the smallest (minimum) end. | 1" (min) |
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. |

This is Hemingray's No. 132 Floor Tube design, known as the "split plain" style. It is two pieces, 6 inches long, and has a 1 inch bore. Each piece has 3 protrusions (which almost resemble drip points), and they fit into three matching indentations on the other side. These act as a "tongue and groove" design to keep the two pieces together when inserted into the wall or floor. This unique 2 piece design allowed for a tube to be installed around an existing line (or I would imagine as a potential replacement if a previous tube was broken). Darin Cochran has dug shards of these from the Hemingray dump. There are at least 3 complete specimens known to date.
Primary EmbossingThe 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. |
EINThe 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]. |
