Galvanized steel toothpick brackets! Many utilities could learn a thing or two by using good ol' reliable and durable steel brackets again. APS stopped using these brackets around 25 years ago.

From back when APS came out with awesome constructions! Brown insulators on new constructions of course weren't uncommon back in the 1970's, at least with APS. I like also how the pole top is stored on the back side of the pole versus the usual side mounting.

An older 1970's era APS pole with the neutral used as a shield wire. Many of the outskirt sections in the Phoenix region (and other parts of Arizona) utilize this technique.
