AT&T long line towers

Does anyone have knowledge of who is the manufacturer of the four legged towers used by AT&T long lines throughout the US. I cannot find any indication on the structure itself. TIA

I believe Western Electric made them.

manufacturer of the four legged towers

Many of the four legged angle iron towers were manufactured by Blau or Blaw Knox. I believe they went out of business in the mid 1960's.

FYI: They are up for auction and for those interested, be careful if they are painted, they are full of lead paint. EPA clean up issues to repaint or remove! May have a buried diesel tank on site that may have issues. Usually on a wonderful site though.

Blaw Knox is a manufacturer that manufactured diamond-type towers, I don't think they manufactured any towers for Long Lines, those were all manufactured by Western Electric.

Plans on the site I used to have equipment listed Western Electric as well.
