Trolley poles, etc

I was out at the museum yesterday afternoon for the first time in a few weeks and started off by hauling one of the 308's poles off of the roof of that car with the help of Joe Stupar and taking it over to Barn 4. This is the next pole in line to have its trolley harp and shoe replaced, so I ground down and knocked out a rivet holding the harp onto the pole but stopped there. I picked up with 205 work, making some shims for the purpose of leveling the trolley boards and working on that car's trolley poles as well. One of the trolley poles retrieved for us by Bob Bruneau had a bend in it, quickly taken care of by Stan Wdowikowski with the help of the department's official pole straightening machine: a hole in one of the big support posts in Barn 4. Following this I cleaned off and primed both poles, plus put a coat of black on both of the trolley bases.
