NAME OF CONNECTOR?

[W2PFY]

I can't remember what those connectors, terminals  are called. Perhaps a Farmsworth? They are pressed down and a wire is inserted into the middle of it. You can also use them for making a grid pin connector for a 100TH or 250TH tube. They were used on many dry batteries ans sometimes used with crystal sets etc?

If you know what I am talking about, let me know what I am talking about?

when I was a kid I thought the Fahnestock clip was a marvelous invention.....Imagine hooking wires up without soldering......I still have a
few in use around here...There are Aluminum caps similar to a plate cap that fit the grid pins of the TH series tubes...They look cool with the fins ......

If you ever wondered how they got their name:

There was a big time banker that died in 1914 of the same name. I wonder how that electrical company got its name? "Fahnestock Electric Co"  It looks as if the company also made machines to stamp these and other electrical parts of the day which was around 1907. They must have made billions of connectors!

As mentioned in the last paragraph, we used giant Fahnestock clips to rig the mechanical arming wires on bombs and weapons on the P-3C Orion.  It was a pretty clever arrangement.
