Old Riser Pole in Troy, Ohio

Miami County, Ohio

 

Corner of W Water St and N Cherry St

 

A nice old riser pole in Troy, Ohio with an old pothead on the lower part of the pole.

 

Glass insulators are one CD 154 Hemingray-42 and one CD 183 Hemingray-71. The two glass insulators that are out of service were probably used for an old 6.6A series street lighting loop circuits. Weird seeing a Hemingray-42 on a power pole since they were produced for telegraph service.

 

The electrical grid system in Troy, Ohio is very ancient with a lot of old poles and unique old structures.

 

In the comment section are the lower and upper part of the riser pole.
