A Call for the Electrical Branch

A Call for the Electrical Branch.

The Electrical Branch had not been idle, and very luckily a special gang was working in the neighbourhood of Takapau. This gang was split up into small page break page 54 page 55 units, and as some worked back restoring any breaks in the communications between Waipukurau and Woodville, others worked forward from Takapau northwards.

The earthquake had, in many instances, thrown down the poles, and in other cases the lines had been so tangled by the oscillation caused by the rapid shakes that they had to be cleared with long poles as the gang moved along.
