An insulator comprising an insulator rod, metallic cups crimped to the ends of the rod, tubular insulating sections engaging the rod, metallic caps in threaded engagement with the cups, insulating gaskets intermediate the tubular sections, and means cementing the sections to one another and to the caps, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.     2. In an insulator, a wooden rod impregnated with an

insulating compound and forming the core, tubular insulating sections fitting snugly on to the rod, each of said sections having a petticoat and an annular collar within the petticoat adapted to accommodate the end of the succeeding section, an insulating gasket within the annular collar, metallic cups crimped to the ends of the rod, metallic caps in threaded engagement with the cups and in engagement with the adjacent tubular sections, and means sealing the connection between the engaging sections and the sections engaging the caps.     In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
