Suspension vs cap and pin

I didn't even know Lapp made cap and pin /suspension insulators. The article is describing cap and pin, a particular type of suspension insulator. Polymer insulators are suspension insulators, but not cap and pin construction. --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Nope. 'Polymer insulator', or more commonly polymeric insulators, refers to the material whilst 'suspension insulators' refers the type or function. For example there are polymeric insulators that are not suspension insulators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.176.163.90 (talk) 23:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

upper or lower?

>There is a groove on the upper end of the insulator. The conductor passes through this groove and is tied to the insulator with annealed wire of the same material as the conductor.< If I am reading this correctly it should read "lower" rather than "upper", at least if the reference is to physical position rather than potential (as it appears to be). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.161.88.87 (talk) 01:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
