Ken I think possibly that the device you used to tension telephone wires is what we used to stretch barb wire on the farm during the fence building process. The same device also had at least one secondary use. Delivering calves that were reluctant or unable to be born as nature intended. In those days "calling the vet" meant locating your dad and maybe a neighbor or two. Men were men and cows were cows in those days.
