This was created to include and recognize the Lineman of the past and present day.

A lineman (American English) or linesman (British English), also occasionally called a lineworker, powerline technician (PLT), or a powerline worker, is a tradesman who constructs and maintains electric power transmission and distribution facilities. The term is also used for those who install and maintain telephone, telegraph, cable TV and, more recently, fiber optic lines.

The term refers to those who work in generally outdoor installation and maintenance jobs. Those who install and maintain electrical wiring inside buildings are electricians.

Lineman include electrical and telephone line workers who built and connected people to a new world of electricity at their finger tips with a flip of a switch to having communication lines in their homes with the telephone.

Please add profiles of those who worked as lineman for any company to do with this projet.

Some companies include Bell Telephone Company
