I've always thought that they were a physical guard or protection for a line down the pole to underground like buried service from the pole to.....
It looks like there is fading of where a line may have been. Looks like a pretty old pole.:thumbsup:
Now here with our power Co. they use a full 10' length of sch 80 conduit to get up out of harm's way. PVC or pipe.
I find it odd when you see a gas bottle (cylinder) tied to the pole. For some reason I think it is for telephone lines and the only crazy thing I can think of is moisture in a line causing noise or issues and with a few psi of pressure they are trying to drive it out????? (I said crazy)
