CATV. As I understand it-and all of this is subject to correction, # because I will probably get some of the details wrong-but as I understand it, pole space is purchased from the telephone company. Permission is obtained from the city. The transmitting cable is then strung from pole to pole, by means of a supporting cable, which supports the transmitting cable that is wound around it.

It is taken down the streets of the city served by CATV. This shows how the transmitting cable is attached to or perhaps this is a lead going into a home. I am not sure. But at any rate, it shows you that the cable systems normally employ the telephone poles to transmit or to support their cable.

The next photograph, figure 7, is another picture of a workman, and here is pictured an amplifying unit that has to be spaced every so often along the way, because as the signal comes in from the master antenna, toward the city, and toward the homes, it tends to become attenuated or diminished in strength. It must be run through an amplifying unit, reamplified, and then sent along its way.
