Experimental transmission tower of prestressed concrete
Tower is part of experimental Extra-High-Voltage Project at Pittsfield, Mass; 100 ft high tower is made up of 3 main members 94 ft long and of 18×36 in. section, 2 uprights, and cross arm with hollow cross section; members were precast, prestressed and shipped 135 mi to site; cross bracing consists of 12×12 in. solid prestressed concrete sections; main purpose of tower was to determine structural applicability and electrical properties of prestressed concrete.
