pull

pull
   a measure of the angular deflection in an overhead utility line at a pole where the line changes direction. In the U.S., the measurement is defined by drawing an imaginary line between two points on the utility line 100 feet from the corner pole, one point in each direction. The pull is then defined to be the minimum distance between this imaginary line and the corner pole (in feet). Pull p is related to the angle a of deflection by the formula p = 100·sin(a/2); this quantity is directly proportional to the sideways force exerted on the corner pole.
