The electric lighting lines were uppermost (with a two-pin fire alarm crossarm on top) while the DC power cables and trolley telephone dispatch wires (twisted pairs) ran beneath. The stenciling on the electric crossarms reads: E.E.I. Co. and this represented the Edison Electric Illuminating Company (of Boston).
