(m) Character of Cotistruction.—The character of the material enter-ing into the construction of crossing spans and the installation of same mustconform to modern practice. GENERAL BEQUIBEMEXTS Sectio?^ e. (a) Conductors.—By the term conductor, circuit or cableas used in these rules is meant any metal conductor whatsoever used as ameans of transmitting electric current. (b) CradZes.—Cradles or slatted platforms will not be permitted in con-nection with the aerial crossing of any line. It is the intent and purpose 478 of these rules to require the construction of the crossing spans to be of suchsubstantial character as to make the use of cradles or platforms unnecessary
