I love this 1970's stuff! Source: Google

Another 1970's CL&P construction with a wide wooden brace. This tap setup appears to have been for two-wire 4.8kV until they converted it into single-phase 8kV. Source: Google

The single-phase tap line here is 7,620V WYE. Note the old spool bracket with only the neutral wire being used now. Source: Google

Classic 1970's CL&P with 15kV-rated A.B. Chance "radio-free" insulators. U.S. 7 nearby I remember had poles of this specification until the complete rebuild. Source: Google

Classic typical 1970's CL&P slackspan crossarm construction with Chance "sky glaze" radio source: Google

Here's a line of "updated" chicken wing bracket poles installed somewhere between 1980-86. Mostly unchanged! Source: Google Maps

You can see the conductors go from covered to bare (aluminum I believe), which porcelain insulators are much more likely to show up. Originally this pole likely had 15kV Chance "sky glaze" porcelain insulators. Fortunately the covered conductors are the short section of the line. Source: Google Maps

A little taken-over by the vegetation! Here's a nice 1990's-era CL&P riser that feeds a McDonalds that was built in 1994. I really like this riser design. One of the last years CL&P used the white Chance bell insulators before fully switching the polymer strains. Source: Google Maps
