As no lighting was to be done and dead ended, and a right angle connection is then made to theother set of cross arms, a special terminal to fit the different sizedwire being used, and all connections soldered. Where d. c. feeders are turned at corners, double blocked armsare used. The wires are carried across and dead ended to guypoles by Brooklyn Strains, and the wires in the opposite direction. ■ I ■ r. ; FROMll|i;ll-lK.\SM>.V Ir station il was not ihought necessary to carry the extrawire to this station.
