LOL Ray,
I haven't seen poles like that since I left Temuka!.
Also the single phase 'gas' switch in series with the ddo. whether that is remotely controlled or not
No, if it was remotely controlled it would have a radio interface unit on it.
The earthing system for the transformer and lightning arrestors is a bit rough.
One thing that did catch my attention as I was uploading these pics, is that DDO fuseholder mount on the left side, above the transformer is sitting there by the skin of it's teeth.
One final thing, this job wasn't done yesterday, the fuseholders are the old kind that NZ Insulators in Temuka used to manufacture.
I used to find, as a kid, a pile of broken insulators down by the river (where they used to dump thier seconds), they were an ideal size for weighing down your eel-pots.
