the lines. Connecting members 29 similar to
connecting member 6 are provided. The
casing 28 is provided with insulation and
other members similar to bolt 5 and insu-
b lated wire 8. The line 31 is intercepted and
transposed as wire 32. The wire 33 -is inter-
cepted and transposed as wire 34. The wire
35 is intercepted and transposed as wire 36.
The wire 37 is intercepted and transposed
10 as wire 38. The wires 37 and 38 are con-
nected to the casing through bosses 39. The
four wires are thus transposed and are par-
allel before and after transposition.
The transposition devices can be placed
15 wherever desirable, as many as three or four
between each pole if necessary.
The variation shown in Fig. 2 may be
utilized to make the construction cheaper.
The wire 8 may be left out of the pipe 1.
20 The transposition can be effected by con-
necting the connecting member 6 with the
connecting member 6 at the other end of the
pipe by a rod or bar 40 which is raised high
enough from the pipe 1 to prevent short-
25 circuiting, or the bar 40 may be run below
the pipe 1. The connections with the pipe .1
and with the pipe or casing 28 should be
water-tight.
What I claim, is,-
30 1. Transposition for telephone and other
wires comprising a tubular metallic casing
set at right angles to the line wires and hav-
ing terminals bent in opposite directions, an
insulated wire running through said cas-
35 ing and through said terminals, means for
connecting said wire with the line wires, in-
tegral bosses formed on said casing oppo-
site said terminals, and means for connect-
ing said bosses with the line wires.
40 2. Transposition for telephone and other
line wires comprising a tubular metallic cas-
ing having its terminals bent in opposite di-
rections, a wire running through said cas-
ing and terminals and insulated therefrom,means for electrically connecting the ends 45
of said wire with line wires, and means for
electrically connecting line wires with said
casing opposite said terminals.
. 3. Transposition for telephone and other
line wires comprising a tubular metallic cas- 50
ing having its terminals bent in opposite di-
rections, a wire running through said casing
and through said terminals and insulated
therefrom, means for electrically connecting
said wire with line wires, and connecting 55
members formed integral with said casing
at the bends therein and projecting in oppo-
site directions from said terminals.
4. Transposition for telephone and oth'
line wires comprising a metallic casing ha - 60
ing its terminals bent in opposite direction ,
an insulated wire running through said cas-
ing and terminals, means for connecting the
ends of said wire with line wires, and con-
necting members formed integral with said 65
casing at the bends thereof and projecting
in opposite directions to said terminals.
5. Transposition for telephone and other
line wires comprising a metallic casing hav-
ing its terminals bent in opposite directions, 70
a wire running through said casing and
terminals and insulated therefrom, means
for connecting the. ends of said wire with
line wires consisting of bolts connected to
the ends of the wires, detachable caps con- 75
nected to the ends of said casing, and means
for insulating said bolts from said caps and
casing, and connecting members formed in-
tegral with said casing at the bends thereof
and projecting in opposite directions from 80
said terminals.
In. testimony whereof, I set my hand in
the presence of two witnesses, this 21st day
of January, 1913.
