Three-Way Plug 三通插頭

Oldenburg’s large-scale COR-TEN and bronze version.

奧爾登堡在20世紀60年代中期開始探索三向電插頭作為其藝術的靈感來源。
塞爾在1965年的石版畫（約翰遜1971年）中首次出現在他的作品中，然後是鉛筆
圖紙，最終，各種材料的三維實現，包括乙烯基和
木。 最後，常見的小家用插頭在1970年獲得了真正的巨大身材
奧登堡的大型COR-TEN和青銅版。

CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLUG
Th e body of the sculpture is fabricated of COR-TEN B (ASTM A588) weathering steel plate,
1/8- in. and 3/16-in. thick.1 It is composed of three major sections: a central 10-sided cylindrical shape
forming a large central chamber and two smaller circular side chambers fi tted onto opposite sides of the
central chamber . Th e three sections form the general shape of a Greek cross in plan view. For
purposes of orientation, the face of the Th ree-Way Plug with the prongs is referred to as the front of the
sculpture, the side opposite the prongs is referred to as the back, and the two side chambers are referred
to as the proper right and proper left sides, respectively.
All of the steel-to-steel joints are welded. Inside the large central chamber, a steel shaft runs the
length of the chamber, terminating in a large eyebolt protruding through the center of the rear face of the
sculpture . Apart from this shaft, there is no internal armature; the exterior COR-TEN skin is
the main structural support of the sculpture.

插頭的構造
雕塑的主體由COR-TEN B（ASTM A588）耐候鋼板製成，
1 / 8-英寸和3/16英寸它由三個主要部分組成：中央10面圓柱形
形成一個大的中央腔室和兩個較小的圓形側腔室，這些側面腔室安裝在相對的兩側
中央室。在平面圖中，三個部分形成希臘十字架的一般形狀。對於
定位的目的，與尖頭的Th ree-Way插頭的面被稱為前面的
在雕刻中，與叉子相對的一側被稱為背部，並且兩個側室被稱為
作為適當的權利和適當的左側，分別。
所有的鋼 – 鋼接頭都是焊接的。在大型中央腔室內部，鋼軸穿過
腔室的長度，終止於通過後面中心突出的大吊環螺栓
雕塑。除了這個軸，沒有內部電樞;外觀COR-TEN皮膚是
雕塑的主要結構支撐。

A circle of angle iron is welded to the interior of the proper right and left faces of the Three-Way
Plug. Th e angle lends structural support to the circular face planes of the two side chambers and also
would have kept the COR-TEN plate from warping during fabrication .
Two horizontal slots representing electrical receptacles are built into the back, as well as the
proper right and left faces of the Th ree-Way Plug . There is a circular opening on each of the
left and right faces in between the horizontal slots. The slots and the circular openings provide visual
access to the interior, an important component of the overall design.
Two hollow bronze prongs fabricated of 3/16 in. Everdur silicon bronze sheets are fi tted into slots
in the front face of the Three-Way Plug, extending forward. The prongs on the Oberlin Plug are brazed
into “pockets” of COR-TEN just behind the front face. Those on the Saint Louis and Philadelphia Plugs
are brazed with bronze wire directly to the adjacent COR-TEN fabric and to two horizontal angle iron
braces welded in position on the sculpture’s interior directly behind the front face .
Small holes for drainage were originally drilled into the bottom edges of the three chambers. The
COR-TEN components of the sculpture were left uncoated.

一圈角鐵被焊接到三通的適當左右兩側的內部
插頭。該角度為兩個側室的圓形面平面提供結構支撐
可能會使COR-TEN板在製造過程中不發生翹曲。
代表電插座的兩個水平槽內置於後部，以及
Th ree-Way插頭適當的左右兩側面。每個都有一個圓形開口
左右面位於水平槽之間。槽和圓形開口提供視覺效果
進入內部，是整體設計的重要組成部分。
兩個由3/16英寸製成的空心青銅尖頭.Everdur矽青銅板安裝在槽中
在三通插頭的正面，向前延伸。歐柏林插頭上的插腳是釬焊的
進入正面後面的COR-TEN的“口袋”。那些在聖路易斯和費城插頭
用青銅線直接釬焊到相鄰的COR-TEN織物和兩個水平角鐵上
在正面後面的雕塑內部焊接的支架。
最初用於排水的小孔鑽入三個腔室的底部邊緣。該
雕塑的COR-TEN組件沒有塗層。
