I've been out of the tower business for a long time (1970s), but the
Tri-Ex HZN series was an early self supporting model. It was readily
recognizable since it had full "X" bracing made of flat steel instead of
the "W" bracing made with steel rod used in the later W and LM series.
The usual configuration was 20 foot sections, with 3 foot overlaps. So
4 sections was 71 feet, 5 sections was 88 feet. The LM and W series
increased the overlaps a little so you only got 51, 70, 86, etc. I
don't remember a 6 section HZN, but there could have been a special
made. There were also the HZX models, which used oversized (wider)
sections, with some models also having solid uprights in the lower
sections with the X bracing. Hope that helps.
