A line crew takes a moment to pose for a picture while building one of the company's earliest transmission lines. Given the small multis (likely M-2340 or similar), this would be when they were still on the 22kV standard. After adding 10 towns in 1913, the lines were converted to 38.1kV, and by the 1920s, the insulator spec had changed to require 45kV-class multiparts (OB M-2751 or similar). A couple of these early 22kV multis remain in service; see the 'Frugality' picture to see one I observed a few years ago. |
