Good find.

 

Nice video.
I'm curious when they decided not to insulate the cable conductors.

 

Better heat dissipation from no insulation = more amps. Plus 400kv would be a think piece of insulation.

 

I like the tractor and precision communications,...

 

30sec in, the guy climbing the tower hooked a peg from underneath and stumbled... No safety harnesses, climbing up and down the insulator piles to get into the little cart... I wonder how many deaths or major injuries they had back then?

Cool video!

 

Not to mention that they aren't wearing hardhats, safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, or bright orange reflecty vests. They will surely die before the 0830 beer break.

 

They probably should have been wearing little blue masks cause pretty soon Covid 19 ........... You never know about these things......

 

Another of the same interest.

 

 

How were they splicing the cables? I see them using a long kellem grip, is that the final connection?
