Old series street lighting circuits in Bluffton, Indiana using four CD 230 Hemingray - 512 glass insulators.
CD 230 Hemingray 512s in service use
822 Clark Ave., Bluffton, Indiana
A shot showing a very old pole using three CD 230 Hemingray 512s in service use along Clark Ave. in Bluffton, Indiana. Looks like the insulation is coming off the conductors.
CD 230 Hemingray 512 glass insulators in service use
829 W Cherry St., Bluffton, Indiana
Last week I made a trip back down to Bluffton, Indiana and shot about 40 more poles with glass insulators. Sadly, some of the street lighting circuits got changed over on some of the poles.
This shot shows two CD 230 Hemingray 512 glass insulators in service use along with a couple of older looking transformers one being a Line Material can and an old mercury vapor street light.
CD 230 Hemingray 512 glass insulator used along with transmission line
804 W Spring St., Bluffton, Indiana
The late evening light brings on a slight golden glow to the transmission pole that runs along Spring St. in Bluffton, Indiana. The glass insulator on the primary is a CD 230 Hemingray 512.
Glass insulators used on street light A-frame bracket
1634 W Washington St., Bluffton, Indiana
One of the few poles in Bluffton, Indiana that uses glass insulators on the old guy-wire A-frame bracket on the street light pole.
The glass insulators on the primary are the typical CD 230 Hemingray 512 insulators. The insulator on the A-frame bracket closest to the pole is a CD 162 Hemingray the other a CD 164 Star insulator.
CD 230 glass insulators used on series lighting circuit regulator pole

CD 230, 239 glass insulators and a U 399B porcelain insulator in service use
252 Walmer Ave., Bluffton, Indiana
This pole on the top crossarm shows two CD 230 Hemingray 512 glass insulators with the left one a D-512. The porcelain insulator on the far right is a U 399B loop insulator. The two lower glass insulators are more than likely CD 239 Kimble-830s but could also be Hemingray-830s.
This pole just to the east of this pole.

CD 252 Hemingray-62 glass insulators in service use
W Elm St. just west of S Marion St., Bluffton, Indiana
Shot of two CD 252 Hemingray-62 glass insulators with drip points on each end of the crossarm supposedly used for the street light circuits. Looks to be a double circuit line on the pole.
Within the last two years the old mercury vapor street light was changed out along with the isolation transformer taken down.
