• Anyone familiar with old lead/paper loop plant?

    A reporter for a major newspaper is interested in learning more about
    the pressurized (usually lead-sheathed) cables that were installed in
    telephone networks until plastic came along. Some are likely to still be
    in service. If any old outside plant folks are interested in talking to
    her about it, please contact me directly (remove the QRM from my email)
    and I'll pass the contact info along. Thanks.
