engaged in stretching the wires on
the towers recently erected between

Their mode of operation is to have
a rope the required two miles in

stretched back with the aid of

on each tower to run the cable
along on and keep it from contact
with the ground. The engine then

are in place and they are ready to
move up to the next bunch of reels.
