I don't have any close-ups to hand, but you can see some examples in use on another thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/11355-25kv-overhead-wires/page__st__125 (about 1/3 of the way down the page)

My article on the subject appeared in 'Model Railways' in (I think) Feb 1984. However, I didn't have any proper drawings or dimensions to go from, everything was either estimated or extrapolated from the few pictures available. It was only on a later open day at Crewe Electric depot that I got the opportunity to take a few measurements - but I had moved on to Brecknell-Willis types by then. The basic principle of construction still holds good though.
