Helicopter Linemen

[SMWulph]

Hiya all.
I was out the other day and happen to see then watch one of these (i think) Helicopter linemen work. The Helio hovered close by while the guy was messing with the cable links :eek:. It looks like they are putting up/in new transmission lines.
What I'd like to find are pictures/drawings of the 500Es and the platforms that are mounted on the skids of the 500E.
Any and all help would be appreciated, Thanks :)

Here is the model of helo commonly used...of course they use an array of others...minus the work platform...I'll keep looking to see if I can find any pics of the work platform.

Here is a site that you might could email and they might send you a pic of the work platform

The Smithsonian Air&Space magazine had a article on this a few years ago you could try looking there.
