    Telegraph Poles ? yes we called them that in the 60s and 70s even though we were they were in fact telephone wire poles, Telegraphs are not really common now as indeed they were not common back then but I think the name stuck. Like Hoover for vacuum cleaner and megger for insulation tester. I think it`s like my Grandma`s Electric Gas-Ovens, Electric Gas-Lamps and Race Hoss Dogs  Grinning

    Well it's wood and soaked in creosote, so that's what I think it's called.  Should I call it an electron distribution pillar?
