Cyclopedia of applied electricity : a general reference work on direct-current generators and motors, storage batteries, electrochemistry, welding, electric wiring, meters, electric lighting, electric railways, power stations, switchboards, power transmission, alternating-current machinery, telegraphy, etc. . r the base of the poleon the opposite side from that on which a guy would be galvanized steel guy wire is used for guys. Thereare two general methods of attaching the guys to the top of thepole. In the one, a single guy is run, attached at or near the middle 71 62 POWER TRANSMISSION cross-arm, while in the other, known as Y guying, two wires arerun to the top of the pole, one at the upper, the other at the lowerarm, and are united into a single line a short distance from the pole. Head guying, that is, guying in the direction of the line, is usedwhen the line is changing level and for end poles. The guys areattached near the top of one pole and run to the bottom of the polejust above. Fig. 38 shows several methods of reinforcing polelines. Special methods are adapted as necessary. Steel Toivers. Steel towers are now being used to a considerableextent, especially on important lines, because of their longer life and ?n ^S£Cr/0/Y^^ \>-6-0^ 6-0^ 6-0-^ •SSCTJON BB.
