Description
Photograph of a Pacific Telephone Company lineman studying pole locations at a new housing development, ca.1959. The man is standing at left and is looking into the distance at right. He has a dark jacket, light pants, and dark gloves. A coil of wire is slung over his shoulder. Behind him at right, a dark-colored truck is visible. Several storage boxes and a rack hold electrical supplies, while a sign leaning on the door reads "Men Working". The wooden frame of a house can be seen in the background at right.
