I ground down the thickness to get an accurate focus at the infinity mark, and wanted a check of  my work.  This 100  yr old home, presently for sale, is about half a block from my back yard.  The nail heads showed me that the adjustment was fine.

But the interesting thing to me is the so-called squirrel screen that is intended to limit squirrel access to the high-voltage line.  Squirrels cause most of our power outages. I'm just not sure how the screen works.
