How many wires are going through the pole? That can help identify if its 120 or 240 volt

I didn't have my glasses so it was impossible for me to tell. I THINK it's two wires on all of these, but Joe M. said 240v reactor ballasts for MV lights was very common in the Narragansett electric area. These may have been an exception though...

Pawucket, RI was in the Blackstone Valley Electric territory so the voltage may be different. Nice to see that some mercs still survive in little rhody!

Ahh yes! I forgot about that. Well, there's a good shot these are 120v, which is good since i really hope to get at least one of these. Ideally, I'd like to get a M-250A and one of these.

Another M-250R on my grandprents' street.

They recently replaced a super brown refractor and a dim lamp in this guy. They did the same with the one in front of my grandparents' house too. Only a few M-250Rs on this road still have their origional glass lenses. Most have Formed Plastics lenses like this.
