An account is given of the development of overhead equipment for use on british railways electrification schemes during the period 1960-1970. Thesedevelopments have led to equipment having improved dynamic performance and lower cost. Concurrently, the efficiency of installation has been increased. Economies have followed the disappearance of steam locomotives, allowing the use of less expensive materials for metal fittings and insulators. Vements have arisen from steady development and the application of new techniques.
