These are drawings of all the towers used in the Marcy South line. I created all these drawings in MS Powerpoint. These drawings include pictures of the towers used in the pre-existing Rock Tavern Roseton 345 kV line. Please note I did not include the first few towers in the Marcy Coopers Corners circuit, as I think those may also have been pre-existing.
The clock tower of the Palace of Westminster (a.k.a. the Houses of Parliament) in London. Not Big Ben, which is the bell inside.
Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō tawā?) is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 333 meters (1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. FootTown, a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at 150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 meters (820 ft).
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011.

Soaring 170 metres above Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent, the Spinnaker Tower is taller than the London Eye, Blackpool Tower and Big Ben and has already established itself as a national icon for Britain.
A world class visitor attraction, the much-admired, elegant viewing Tower stands proud over one of the most fascinating seascapes in the world. Situated on the waterfront at Gunwharf Quays, it offers amazing 350º panoramic views of Portsmouth Harbour, the South coast and the Isle of Wight, with views stretching out for up to 23 miles – breathtaking by day and a glittering sea of lights by night.
There are 3 view decks to explore including Cafe in the Clouds at 105 metres above sea level, plus a gift shop and Waterfront Cafe on ground level.
It is easy to imagine why they decided in the 17th century, to build the stair-tower onto the older part of the castle. As mentioned in the previous photograph, the original spiral staircase was particularly small and narrow. The other problem was that, like a lot of these towers, the main entrance was at first floor level, not at ground level. While a doorway reached by a removalble timber stair might have been more secure, it was also inconvenient. The new stair-tower solved both these problems. A new front-door was built, seen here, and the much more commodius stair (all collapsed now) wound up past the old front door at 1st floor level, all the way to the top of the tower where it ended in a small gabled watch-chamber with its own fireplace and chimney.
Two things of interest in this photo - (1) the numerous cracks spreading through the stonework as the stair-tower shifts away from the rest of the building, and (2) how much more the external sandstone has weathered over the last 400 years, than the internal sandstone seen through the doorway.
President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower America's first national monument on September 24, 1906.

Australian RAAF base watch tower. To my knowledge this is only one inexistent - early 1960s VW Kombi panel van.
On an otherwise ordinary street in Suzhou is a rather special bridge! Unlike the London original the Chinese version has four towers!
