New Plymouth had an early version of flexible overhead on the tramways.
 
From the span wire fitting, two light wires about 2 feet long dropped down to the trolley wire forming as it were,  a triangle.
I hope the following two pictures will show what I mean.
 
The  view in the City is from the Alexander Turnbull Library NZ.
