This book, Wood Amongst the Wires, 2000 by Fred Padgett and co-authored by Walter P. Ruedrich, is the definitive resource for information on the unique San Francisco Wooden Insulator that was created in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. After the earthquake leveled and burned so much of the city, it became necessary to quickly rebuild the city\'s means of transportation. A major problem was that there were no glass insulators easily available for this fix, and the wooden insulator was developed to meet this need. This book is a wonderful and interesting account of the earthquake and an incredible tutorial on the wooden insulator. Some of the insulator information is technical, but even if you aren\'t interested in such depth, you will be captivated by the historic as well as modern photos and personal accounts of some of the most knowledgeable people in this field of insulator collecting. Includes a color insert of 14 examples of the San Francisco Wooden Insulator.
This is a beautiful book that is worth owning!
