This folder is in good condition for its age and page material. Has many pages documenting the construction of a 134 Mile transmission line from Grace, Idaho to Salt Lake City, Utah. Includes many historic construction photos pasted on pages, many blue prints, fold out maps, and notes including everything from total labor, materials list, pricing, damage totals, and everything to do with construction along the way. Pages appear to be hand typed, and there are many pencil signatures. Photos are pasted onto the pages. Book is dated February 1st, 1914, only one month after final completion of the seven month job of constructing 1079 towers. There are detailed accounts of location of towers and maps showing them. Towers had suspension insulators, as shown in the photo above. I am placing this up for sale this one time only. Asking $465 for this piece of history. Shipping included. Please email if you have any questions, need any more specifics on the book, or want to see more photos. I guess the price is a little much... This is what I'm sure is a very low production folder of notes, who knows, it could be the only copy in the world. How about $265 + Shipping.
