Objet : [TowerTalk] Washers or No Washers

The instructions for my vintage 40 ft. Wilson telescoping, tilt-over
tower 
clearly show that the base is mounted to the 3/4 in. anchor bolts with
nuts 
above and below the base plate *without washers*.  The installation
drawing 
for the nearly identical US Tower MA-40 tubular tower also does not
specify 
washers.

It seems to me that using washers would better distribute the vertical
load 
on the base plate and would also help counter horizontal forces.  Is
there a 
reason why washers are not specified?  All comments and thoughts
welcomed.
