I also asked about tap changers/regulators. Is this what these are, and
if so, are they likely to be manual or automatic?

Yes. Note the primaries are broken by insulators, and there is no
secondary [240/120] service on the pole. [The lowest run is TV coax, then
neutral above it.]

I've never heard of such as manual regulators so I assume they are
automatic.

It's somewhat unusual to see all three on one pole; it must be a BIG
one. Generally I see them staggered on 3 adjacent poles; or two poles
hold a platform between them.
