The unsourced content that the article was replaced with on April 24, 2007 has the appearance of having been cut and pasted from elsewhere. It is therefore a potential copyright violation. A brief websearch doesn't turn up anything, so I'm leaving it in for now (with some of the older deleted content added back in too). --Ed (Edgar181) 00:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname

[edit]

From someone who worked in the telephone industry decades ago, where they regularly use chemical treatments on wood utility poles, I heard the term "penta" being used, short —for "pentachlorophenol". Although telephone companies and other utilities tend to buy their poles from specialist suppliers, they often find a need to treat other wood components, such as cross-arms, locally. This may be done by immersing or painting with a mix of Diesel oil and "penta". — QuicksilverT @ 19:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
