Bild vom Freileitungsturm - Dachgestänge:
National Telephone Company provincial exchange
Structures such as these supported telephone cables as they entered an exchange, and were a distinctive sight in most towns until underground cables became commonplace. Large exchanges in large cities, particularly London, had massive derricks supporting hundreds of cables, and it was not uncommon for such structures to collapse.
