Description:		Bill Friesen monitors the huge transmission lines that extended vast distances from the Peace River country. Monitoring was accomplished in two ways - remotely from the system control center and visually, often by helicopter. Helicopters later came to play a crucial role in transmission line construction during the 1970's.
