Re: [TCML] Mystery Cylinders on Primary Lines

[Derek <tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

I'm not entirely sure, but they could be small weighted dampers, 
designed to stop the cable from resonating when there is a wind across 
the wires.

  They are usually placed at intervals over the entire length of the 
cable and are only usually installed where there is a regular cross wind.

   I can't find a product picture to match those in you photo though...

   Cheers
      Derek
