There are some other items that you will need for the installation of telephone cable WD-1( )/TT
or WF-16/U.
a.
Ensure you have the following:
Gloves to protect your hands.
Marline cord to tie the lance poles together and to secure the wire when needed.
(See Figure 1-16a.)
A hammer, two-pound size, used to drive wooden stakes in the ground. (See
Figure 1-16b.)
Eye protection is needed since splinters may come off the stake. (See Figure
1-16c.)
A shovel, preferably the D-handle shovel you have on your vehicle. (See Figure
1-16d.)
b.
A lot of equipment is needed to install a telephone line. Remember that you are installing
a telephone line from scratch. You will be installing either a point-to-point line or a line from a switch
which would provide service similar to that you have at home.
c.
When you go on the job, it is best to check and be sure you have all your tools since time
is wasted when you have to return to pick up the smallest item.
