THE TWO MEN lifted high in the
air may resemble a motion picture
camera crew or lookouts on a whaling
ship. Actually they are trimming tree
limbs to clear the way for electric power
lines.
They are using a new machine called
a Sky Lift. It makes their work easier
and more efficient. A tree-trimming job
is completed in half the time that it
previously required.
Georgia Power is the first electric
company in the Southeast and one of the
first in the nation to use the Sky Lift.
It is important to you that we should
always be alert to test new methods and
new machines. New ways of doing our
job result in better, more economical
service for our customers.
