Photo taken in September 1969 in the above Los Angeles community at the intersection of N. Henry Ford and East Dennis Streets. The primary taps can be seen towards the right along with an old acorn incandescent pendant street light that was on a 6.6 ampere series lighting circuit on the pole in the background. You can clearly see each of the two wires that fed the fixture, separated by a guy-wire-style breaker insulator. In addition there are some higher voltage structures in the background with oil wells, too.
