   I visited WALT (a 10 kW daytimer at the time) in North Tampa 40 years ago that used 4 wire open 
wire feedline to two towers. There were 4 wires arraigned in a square on top of 12 or 14 foot tall 
poles, the diagonal wires were connected together and the cast insulators were labeled (molded in) 
"Andrew."   (bronze castings with ceramic tips of some kind, as I recall)
