Concrete Poles for Telephones and Railways Promises Longer Life
Scientific American reports a new concrete pole by William M. Bailey of Richmond Indiana. Reinforced with electro carbon steel rods and spiral binding wires, the pole combines elasticity and strength, deflecting 31 inches at 30 feet and with a breaking strain of 6000 pounds. It costs slightly more than cedar but lasts effectively forever, saving replacement costs as cedar poles decay and forests dwindle.
