Excerpt from British Standard Specification for Tubular Tramway Poles At the commencement of their labours the Committee, through the courtesy of the Manufacturers, obtained figures indicating the general trend of every day practice with regard to outside diameters, overall lengths of Poles and test conditions. These figures were very carefully considered by the sub-committee and a Circular was drafted, in which the views of the Members and those of the Makers were as far as possible combined. This Circular was issued to a number of the leading Tramway Engineers in the kingdom, resulting in a large majority signifying their adherence to the proposals put forward by the sub-committee.
