[TowerTalk] Tri-Ex W-51

[JVarney]

Are you comparing an old Tri-Ex W-51 vs. the newer Tashjian W-51/WT-51?
If so, the Tri-Ex is structurally different than the Tashjian version.
The Tri-Ex had legs with 0.095, 0.083 and 0.065 inch wall tubing
using a steel of unknown strength called "Triexium."  The Tashjian uses
0.120 wall throughout and 70ksi yield steel.

The Tashjian will carry more load than the Tri-Ex will.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the W-51 tower of old
and the later nomenclated WT-51 - or - is it just that, a renomenclated
tower with no physical changes?
