  The power co. truck photo has a few details wrong.  But it IS a power co. truck,
probably the line crew supervisor's rig.  The insulators are NOT "ceramic".  They
are porcelain.  Ceramic, as most people use the term, is a light and weak material
that would have poor mechanical strength for such an application.

  The poles on the side of the truck are "pike poles", used for erecting new poles
before the advent of cranes and still used in remote construction sites.
