I did not know that Westinghouse made other street lights other then the OV's. How long were MO's made?

Mostly just in the 60s....and maybe a bit of early 70s....The reasons those were made, was to make it cheaper to make to encourage more companies to use low wattage MV in residential since a lot of the 1950s the MVs were only used on main roads and incandescents were still popular in residential roads and there was no great demand on low wattage MV....

Those "stubs" are called woodpins by insulators collectors. Wink
