Notice how the line has been held safely away from the working men by two “hot sticks” lashed to a pole If a man were to get within 18 inches of the high voltage line, an arc might leap to him from the conductor.

Caught over a high tension wire, the clamps may be tightened like a fist by turning the other end of the stick. The stick itself is made of specially treated wood and it is guaranteed to take up to 75,000 ; volts per foot in other words, its insulation value four feet away | from the hot line would be 300,- 000 volts. However, as an addi tional safety f aetor, twelve-foot sticks would be used to work on a 300,000-vole line.
