Photograph. Black and white photo that shows linemen at work on aerial power lines. The view shows a bucket truck that is parked on a road near a utility pole. Three workmen are standing on the ground near the truck while one lineman is in the bucket and another is at the top of the utility pole. A helicopter is hovering overhead. A typewritten note attached to the verso shows "Helicopters were used by Detroit Edison to 'trace circuits' rapidly so that field crews on the ground could be provided with an accurate assessment of damages. The media found the ships [helicopters] useful for filming restoration activity."
