Directly above the pole the insulator is used as a pin. At the ends of the cross-arms the two insulators are used as suspensions. One up, two down, identical insulators. At the bottom of the page I linked to there is another link to a page with even more types of insulator. It's mostly about insulator materials and properties, but it does also cover post insulators (a variant of a pint insulator) and a long rod insulator (a variant of a suspension insulator). One thing that occurs to me. When I first saw the proposal calling them line clamps, I thought that must be industry terminology because I wouldn't have called them line clamps. To my mind a line clamp would be a component in the insulator assembly that grips the wire. After reading the pages I pointed you at, it appears the industry does call them what I would call them: insulators. Your proposal appears to be about what the industry calls insulators but you call them line clamps. -- Paul
