I have a question about the base paper insulators I ordered. I should have asked you before ordering. This is what I ordered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123481629788 (the item's description says it's 1 5/8" tall but I measured it as 1 17/32" tall which is 3/32" shorter). Is this the item that I should have ordered? https://www.ebay.com/itm/123577744732 It's supposedly 1/4" taller plus it has a notched cutout which I think will fit the metal tab that extends from the support structure. Here are some pictures that show the results of my unsuccessful attempts at fitting the insulators onto the sockets. https://app.box.com/s/imvpm6485l8t61td6v2v6dgojcgoz8ub Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

So, you are correct, you should have ordered the second type with the bayonete-style attachment. Good luck with it - looks like you are getting there. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

I should have used some common sense when I initially looked at the photograph. Now I wonder, by what definition could this insulator be described as"keyless?"

"Keyless" means the socket itself, not the insulator. The insulator will depend on how the socket is used whether there is a bayonet 'key' or not. Not everyone has worked around this stuff for nearly 50 years, so it does not come naturally for them. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
