Sibley tripod and pole

[Dilgers Battery]

Does anyone have specs on the Tripod and pole that held up a sibley?

I have more detailed info at home, but will have to dig to find it.

The legs of the tripod should be roughly 55 inches long wrought iron with "feet" hammered out at the bottom. The cup to hold the pole is IIRC, 2-1/4 inside diameter with the outer diameter bieng 2-1/2 inches. Around the cup are 3 sets of brackets that hold the legs. On the bottom of the cup is a hook.

According to what I read, the pole is to be 2 inch diameter seasoned pine. The top six inches of the pole should be a metal cap with a hook for the ropes in the top of the tent to hang upon.

Hope this helps.
