    Looks good Bren. I don't know how fussy the Americans are but here in Canada neatness counts. That's what I teach my apprentices' too. The old saying " The difference between a good job and a Chitty job is 10 minutes

    Thanks for the pics Bren. Like most of you, when I'm in a different area, I spend a lot of time looking at their construction. So it is cool to see how line is built elsewhere.

    I like the hook style switches. Are all the GOAB's over there of that style? Keeps the public

    safe and is also safer for the switchman being on the end of a fiberglass switch stick rather

    than a steel handle!

    Default we like them

    We like these switches. Because they are a lot less work. With these ones we don't have to instal an earth mat and bond it all together. There's a spring loaded piin at the bottom that releases the hook handle so that it operates .....All operated from the ground with rods..

    Is it spring loaded or fast make/break? Or do you just operate it "firmly".
