I think you are right, gotten similar comments from others referring to the
similarity with the t-20.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Recognize this tower?
Felipe,
The tower matches the old Tri-ex T series. The T-15 had a face width of 13
7/8". They made a T-20, and a T-26 which W6KPC made into his Clement Tower.
Face width for the T-26 is 26 1/2 inches. No width is given for the T-20
but assume its near 20".
The T-15 and up series uses a w brace system which in a 1967 catalog says is
superior bracing.
The T-15 has a short top plate which fits into the top of the top section.
Unfortunately no info on how much it will hold.
I have a letter from Don Hills, the sales Managere in 1982 on the Clement
Rotating tower. Properly guyed the tower hold 55 sq. ft when using the
T-26 sections. Using the T-20 sectiuons the tower will hold 46 sq ft.
Looking thru all the Tri-ex literature I have they seem to use 60 MPH rather
than US Towers 50 and the more normal 70MPH.
Looking at your picture it looks like a T-20. I would measure just to be
sure.
Hope this helps.
