Pittsburg, Kansas | Interesting that during rural electrification in our area only one wire supplied electric on the poles and I presume electric to the house. The circuit was completed via the actual ground.
The idea at the time was considering costs. Only a single wire and single glass insulator per pole.
Someone correct me if I am wrong. But early in my farming career I took down some old rural electrification lines and only took down a single wire. That was the explanation I remember anyway.
Cost a bigger consideration over safety? And I would have to presume only 110 volts to the house, not 220.
