Excellent reference for Journeymen and apprentices.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook (Lineman's & Cableman's Handbook) (Hardcover)
This book is THE comprehensive guide that no Line man should be without. It is also an excellent source of information for anyone working with distribution and/or transmission system operation, construction, and maintenance.

for all time - the Lineman's Bible,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook (Lineman's & Cableman's Handbook) (Hardcover)
This book was first printed in 1928, well after the trade first put on climbers. Since it's first printing it has been THE textbook for the lineman's trade. It has been used in virtually every apprentice program and was the companion of self taught linehands from the '30s on. Frequently updated, it remains the one place a linehand, beginner to veteran, can go for help. It has progressed with the technology of the trade, the regulations and codes, the materials, and the processes for doing very dangerous work in well thought out procedures that enable electric customers to maintain their service and even be unaware of the work of the power lineman.

The Best,

This review is from: Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook (Hardcover)
A must have book for any and all linemen and groundmen. This is the book you use to measure how long you have been in the trade. You buy one when you start and keep updating till you die. It would be nice to see some other text books for this subject but they would have a tough time keeping up. It is the Bible for Line workers
