Nice image of a three-arm phone lead going through this village in Mexico with a 16-pin crossarm atop it (with tightly spaced pins, such as employed on the US West Coast). Beneath are a couple more crossarms with ten pins each. 16-pinners look like they are the rule on all three arms on the next pole. One wonders what nicely colored Mexican glass insulators were used here....
