Years ago, when I worked for a large electric utility, I recall seeing this
in the company's overhead lines specification manual. I also recall that method
being derived from what was in the Lineman, Cableman's Handbook if anyone
here has a copy.
If I recall correctly, it used through bolts, plates and steel straps all
sized per "class" of poles and what type of line construction would be on top.
Anyone have specifics??
