This pole has received a new transformer and 35 kV Hendrix visetops. A few fiberglass arms are visible in the background.

Those Hendrix look just silly! Chocolate porcelain would look SO much better!

The 35 kV Hendrix insulators are quite oversized, especially for this application. They just don't look right on poles such as this, especially with the line running at less than 15,000 volts.

This pole originally had sky-yuk non-radio insulators with rubber ties, but I suspect the rubber ties must have failed recently, warranting the replacement with Hendrix visetops.

Do you know why "radio" insulators are used? I dont and I'm curious.
