   Hello, and that was also my first impression.  Don't know if a   
   single-phase pole-mounted distro transformer was connected across 2 MV   
   lines or line-to-neutral.  Judging from the size of the MV insulators on   
   a pole in the photos, the MV transmission line voltages were most likely   
   considerably lower than what is used in most locales today.  Sincerely,
