And then there was light By Lorie Thompson, Heber Springs Sun-Times, AR
Stark worked for the electric company at a time when the protective gear was almost non-existent. 'If you can picture a little insulated board about 42 inches long and maybe 15 inches wide with a base on it, a chain and two screws to fasten it on the pole, this is what isolated you from the ground,' he said. 'With your rubber gloves on, you worked on these lines carrying 7,620 volts phase to ground and 13,200 volts phase to phase. These boards were called baker board or dough boards, but I nicknamed them diving boards.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:24 AM :: reference link ::
