DeleteWe used to go watch the linemen work back in the late 50s and early 60s when i was a little tyke. You could always tell where the problem areas were by looking at how shredded the poles were from the workers climbing them with their gaffs

DeleteBack in the early 80's, I used to climb poles when installing cable TV. I also carried a 28 foot extension ladder with hooks on the end for those shredded poles, as well as doing a mid-span where you had to run the cable to the house between the poles.
