CD NUMBERS EXPLAINED The CD numbering system is designed to provide a concise way for collectors to refer to these shapes. This system is universally adopted by all collectors, and is used extensively in all aspects of the hobby. CD numbers start at 100 , and may be followed with a decimal point and a single digit.

Collecting insulators from outside North America has become increasingly popular as more and more people are traveling to Europe and other parts of the world. A BRIEF HISTORY OF PORCELAIN INSULATORS From the start it should be noted here that this is a very brief description of the basics on porcelain insulators, there are several excellent publications listed in the Reference Books section that are a "must" for any serious collector. Similar to the glass CD (Consolidated Design) number, porcelain pin-type insulators can be identified by U (Unipart) or M (Multipart) numbers. CLEANING YOUR INSULATORS Acid or Base? There are many different ways to clean insulators. For just plain dirt you can just wash it off with soap and water with a scouring pad or SOS pads.INSULATOR PROFILE
