[TowerTalk] 4 Way Guying

[Chanel1096@aol.com]

Another problem with 4 guy systems is the introduction of torque to the tower 
by the guys.  In a 4 guy system where 2 of the guys are connected to one leg 
the center of force for the guys does not act through the center of the tower 
which can lead to problems with the cross bracing.  And problems with the 
cross bracing lead to real problems with the tower legs.
