Plowing straight ahead come what may |
It’s a stainless steel Pondo Device cover...a Pondo device can’t get wet, either from rain or high humidity and must be elevated at least 12” off the ground. They also must be secure from insects and small animals to function at 100% output if they are located over 50’ from your dwelling. Pondo Devices are common items in rural areas to protect homes from lighting strikes, that can under certain circumstances, travel under the ground and up plumbing. (You never want to be sitting on the crapper during a thunderstorm if the Pondo Device fails) You will see them from time to time in locations where iron rich underground rock formations are common. The devices are named after their inventor Richard Pondo who was a partner and contemporary with Tesla in the study of electricity and how it moved in nature. ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

I did an image search for 'Pondo Device' on Bing that resulted in a bunch of pictures of cute oriental girls. Thank you for that. I did learn that spell check doesn't like the word 'Pondo'. | |||

Good find that looks exactly like it down to the clamp. Still not sure why there are so many of them. | |||

One imagines the local TelCo. In 2020 the more apt question might be: Who's still using T1? I don't think AT&T, for example, will even provision new T1 circuits any more. That's got to be legacy provisioning. "America is at that awkward stage.
