SIDE GUY.- When the line makes an angle, a side pull is produced on the pole. Side guys should be installed to balance the side pull (fig. 4-5). When a branch line takes off from the main line, an unbalanced side pull is produced. A side guy should be placed on the pole directly opposite to the pull of the branch line.

STORM GUY.- Guys are installed at regular intervals in transmission lines that extend long distances in one direction to protect the line from excessive damage as a result of broken conductors. Guys installed to protect the facilities and limit the damage if a conductor breaks are called "line guys" or "storm guys" (fig. 4-6). 

SIDEWALK GUY.- An anchor guy with a horizontal strut at a height above the sidewalk to clear the pedestrians on the sidewalk is referred to as a "sidewalk guy" (fig. 4-7).

SPAN GUY.- A span, or overhead, guy consists of a guy wire installed from the top of a pole to the top of an adjacent pole to remove the strain from the line conductors. The span, or overhead, guy transfers the strain on a pole to another structure. This may be to another line pole or to a stub pole on which there is no energizer equipment. A span guy is always installed to

HEAD GUY.- A guy wire running from the top of a pole to a point below the top of the adjacent pole is
