As the number of service drops along a distribution line increases, the higher the voltage on the distribution line must be, single or 3 phase, and that requires a larger size (gauge) of distribution line, no? Same for the distance of the distribution line, the farther you run it from the distribution yard/generator, the larger the gauge must be.
Yes that's what I said, all distribution lines and service drop lines to the buildings' meter base and from the meter base into the panel was aluminum; no copper. It's been that way since at least the late '50s if not since WWII.
The only copper was the ground line coiled on the base/bottom of the pole to the neutral on the pole. And the meter ground. We only went to the meter, we didn't go past the meter.
