I used to see pole top switches in the yard/plant.....out on the jobsite,in trailers,on 4 x 4s ....all still in their creates....with broken insulators,bent parts and all,it used to bother me cause anybody could guess why these were like that....#1 carelessness...it just seemed like a big waste of time and money...usually they were brought back to the plant until parts were needed for other switches....some foreman would attempt to hide the parts,but that didnt work too well....I can see this happening,cause it does in this line of work.....but there is no way and no good excuse to see that much equipment junked....I couldnt even begin to count the number of times Ive seen this.

They get broke coz ya unpack them before ya get them to the pole. :)
