At least one pair of old crossarms that were on an old
pole, to keep for old time's sake.
Some old ID numbers, especially of those that date way
back, such as the wide-mouthed 8's.
ID numbers that are bigger in size.
To correspond with someone in my area regarding poles, such
as someone who works for Western Mass. Electric.
Yesteryear pictures of poles. Pictures from my area would
be of particular interest, as would ID number pictures from the era.
ID number pictures from various parts of the US, and even
from
other countries. Would be interesting to see what these numbers look
like as compared to what I've seen in my area.
Information about what the Koppers engrave marks looked
like in
1945 and 1946. Would be curious to find out exactly what year Koppers
rearranged the order of the information in their engrave marks.
A copy of the book, The Lineman's [and
Cableman's] Handbook to have as a reference whenever I want
to look back at some information regarding telephone poles. At some
point, I looked at a copy of the sixth edition (published 1981) of the
book, which I received through Interlibrary Loan. I may continue to
look around on the internet for a used copy of the book in used book
stores online, or look around at flea markets. (Good news. I finally
now have my own copy of The
Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook. I have the ninth
edition, which I ordered online through AbeBooks.com.)
