With the help of some other hams on TowerTalk, we've positively 
identified these traps as belonging to the Hy-Gain 14-AV -- the 
predecessor to the 14-AVQ. This antenna design is about 45 years old.

Does anyone have a manual for this ancient antenna? 

If someone can give me the tubing sizes and dimensions, perhaps I can get 
this antique vertical back on the air.
