Five Type D Cable Reel Trailers in Actual Service: A Glimpse into the Early 1920s Electrification Era This photograph showcases five Type D Cable Reel Trailers, each laden with circular cable reels, in actual service during the early 1920s. The scene transports us back in time to an era of rapid industrialization and technological advancements, particularly in the field of electricity distribution. The trailers, with their round, heavy-duty cable reels, are a testament to the burgeoning electrification movement that was transforming America's transportation and power infrastructure. The trailers' robust design, featuring chains and lifting gear, indicate their role in transporting the essential power cables from power plants to various urban and rural areas. The trailers, with their large wheels and daylight bodies, are reminiscent of the industrial strength and ingenuity that characterized the Western electric industry during the 1920s. The image also highlights the seamless integration of these trailers into the highway system, paving the way for the mass transportation of power cables and the expansion of the electric grid. This photograph provides a unique window into the past, offering a glimpse into the industrial processes and innovations that shaped America's electrical landscape during the 1920s. The trailers' timeless design and functionality continue to resonate with us today, serving as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination that drove the electrification movement forward.
