S. Arroyo Blvd Span Wire Gumball
Good news, the span wire Gumball fixture at the intersection of La Loma Rd and S. Arroyo Blvd is still up and working. 

Rick (rlshieldjr) mentioned in the other lighting gallery that he heard it had been blown down or damaged in the December 2011 windstorm.

Glad to know it is still alive. Very Happy I must have gotten some bad info. Is the span NEMA bucket and radial wave down the street still there?

Those are also still there as well.

I always love to see span-wire gumballs or those GE teardrops especially.

Thats something I haven't seen before, id love to see those here in Toronto. It looks like you could keep flipping it over the wires Laughing

I think I'd saw a old pic of Toronto (40s?) with span wire lights in use. Shocked I heard they never got popular here (along with centre hung fixed 4 way traffic lights) because they interfered with the streetcar wires.
