Figs. 946 to 948.—Methods of guying corner poles. The proper guying of corner and terminal poles is especially important; on corners and curves, the guys should be stronger and more frequent and should be placed on the outer side as shown in the diagrams.

Guy Stubs and Anchor Logs.—In guying a line under such conditions, each pole is connected by a suitable cable to a guy post or "stub," or to an anchor log. Standard rules specify stubs between 18 and 25 feet, with exact limits as to circumference measures at the top and at a point 6 feet from the butt, according to the kind of wood used.
