POLE "Z.I.P." CODE-MAINTENANCE TIME SAVER

THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES A SYSTEM USED TO SPEED THE LOCATION OF LAMP POLES FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. EACH POLE IS GIVEN A NUMBER RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE POSTAL ADDRESSES ON THE STREET. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCATION OF THE POLE IS GIVEN BY STATING THE STREET NAME FOLLOWED BY THE POLE NUMBER WHICH IS IN THE FORM OF A FRACTION. THIS METHOD IS MUCH FASTER THAN REFERRING TO MAPS AS ONCE THE NUMBER IS KNOWN, THE WORKMEN CAN, IN EFFECT, DRIVE RIGHT TO THE POLE.
