Default Re: DP 399 A Sight To Behold

Interesting,

That's something else I was going to ask, the official name for those steps, are they really called arms? I was thinking (guessing) something like "climbing irons".

All the poles with DPs round here seem to still have them, but I suspect they are only used as a last resort when a cherry-picker can't be positioned close enough.

There seems to be a height limit for the dropwire at the customers premises too, no longer "under the eaves", unless it's a bungalow.
