Cool! Is this a tapered elliptical arm? It looks like it's bent upwards.

Yes it's a 16 ft tapered elliptical arm,it does look like it's bent upwards,but may have just been how it was manufactured.

Do you know what brand arm this is? GE tapered elliptical arms were used here widespread in the 1970s. Once in awhile I see a new one pop up (not a reused old one) so they must either still have some NOS ones kicking around in the warehouse or they're still made by another company, as GE hasn't made their own arms in a long time. Here's the longer version and here's the shorter 6ft version mounted insanely low. The latter pic makes for a good look at the details of the arm though. Would be so easy to snag that M-250R1 and arm! Just need to stand a ladder up in the back of a pick-up truck lol. The bridges are marked at 11ft 8in so I'd guess the arm is attached to the pole about 9-10ft off the ground.

I'm not sure who makes these,they must be a locally made arm as I haven't seen them used anywhere else.
