How To Build Rural Telephone Lines Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Military Lance Line Construction: For Semi Permanent Field Telegraph and Telephone Lines Two men should watch the reel when unreeling from a wagon, and carry or buck (fig. 5) the reel when going through places impassable for a wagon. The wire must follow the line of marking stakes as rapidly as it can be laid. In case the number of men for the work must be reduced, one man can attend thereel instead of two, but in bucking, he must be assist ed by the lance truck assistant. When there is much of the bucking to be done, the extra man at the reel cannot be dispensed with. The reel must not be al lowed to spin and unwind an excess of wire, or it will easily7 become tangled and frequently catch in the coil while unwinding. The reel-man must be on the alert and have the driver stop the instant a tangle or catch occurs, to prevent pulling the reel and attendants off the wagon.
