This pole was a surprise. An old transformer! It's top is gone, it's cracked, and looks like something is now living in it. The rest of the pole is stripped of it's goodies, but you can get an idea of what it once looked like. There are only two wires in the secondary bushing, which makes me believe this only put out 240 volts or 120. Note the old mountings for a lightning arrestor and fuse cutout.
