This must be a
picture of my great great great Grandpa Weasel placing a cache. I
knew there was a reason I place caches the way I
do!!
A utility pole is a pole used to support overhead power lines and
various other public utilities, such as cable, fibre optic cable,
and related equipment such as transformers and street lights. It
can be referred to as a telephone pole, power pole, hydro pole,[1]
telegraph pole, or telegraph post, depending on its application. A
stobie pole is a multi-purpose pole made of two steel joists held
apart by a slab of concrete in the middle, generally found in South
Australia. Electrical cable is routed overhead as an inexpensive
way to keep it insulated from the ground and out of the way of
people and vehicles. Utility poles can be made of wood, metal,
concrete, or composites like fibreglass. They are used for lower
voltage power transmission; higher voltage transmission lines are
carried on steel transmission towers or pylons.
Utility poles were first used in the mid-19th century with
telegraph systems, starting with Samuel Morse who attempted to bury
a line between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., but moved it
aboveground when this system proved faulty.
