Aerial Terminal
Went to breakfast at the Gardena Bowl this morning, spotted an interesting aerial terminal almost on the pole behind the building. The original pole had been replaced. The new pole is about three feet to the side of where the old one was. The terminal, which had been mounted to the old pole, remains where the old pole was.
I would think I would want a cherry picker (an "aerial lift" or "bucket" truck) if I had to work on this one.
It has been reported. No one is out of service, so it is not a high priority. A new terminal with a longer stub cable will have to be spliced in, as the old one is too short to reach the pole. The drop wires stretching to the left will also have to be replaced, as they are also too short to reach the new pole. It will be a full day job.
