The antenna suspension is fixed at one tower and the
tension is controlled by a winch connecting with the
other end which extends down from the other tower.
A freely suspended weight of 2700 lb. holds the
antenna taut and provides "give" under wind action.
The three PYREX Navy Type Strain Insulators on the
tension line are set between triangular plates to
distribute the pull equally among them.
The second view shows the
lead-in to the antenna coupling house through a
PYREX Navy Deck Type Entering Insulator. The line
is insulated by the two 30-in. PYREX Navy Type Strain
Insulators connected in series.
