Pole on a 10,000-volt line built pre-1910 with Victor glazeweld insulators. What is interesting today is the conductors on this line are copper, steel, and aluminium. Since abandonment, some of the conductor has been stolen for scrap and the line is standing in rough condition with a lot of the insulators shot apart. The most recent style of insulators installed are huge composition triple petticoat pintypes.
