Description
In the 1920s a steel tower design was introduced which featured a K-brace pattern for the bottom 10' section and a X-brace pattern for the top 10' section. In 1931 a 30' K-brace tower superseded this design. The original wood cab (a USFS 4-AR design) was destroyed by fire. The replacement, Plan Number BC-301, was supplanted by the existing cab, CDF Plan Number 259. This was the first 732-6A style cab to be constructed. (MVT 10/91)
