Just the basic facts...
Climbing a nearby telephone pole and hooking in his test set, he dialed the
subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring. He tried again. The dog barked loudly, followed by a ringing telephone. Climbing down from the pole then he found:
a. Dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron chain and collar.
b. Dog was receiving 90 volts of signalling current.
c. After several jolts, the dog was urinating on ground and barking.
d. Wet ground now conducted and phone rang.
Which goes to prove that some grounding problems can be passed on.
