sparky_spit Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Mike Banks - yes, I can send one over soon.Apologies about the discs, we thought they were metal, it wasn't meant to be deceiving etc. Thanks.Those discs of the telephone pole are called "Discs, Pole, Number Identification" and were white painted aluminium until about 1968 - 1970, when they changed to black on white plastics. A red one with "S" on it denoted that the pole must be tested before climbing, and a red rectangular one with "D" meant that the pole must not be climbed without assistance from the Pole Erection Unit. Yes, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
