Seems like this would help to me.. Kinda like a bridge, once the road way is in place the towers are much less vulnerable to wind or earth quake damage. Tieing the three caps togeather should stiffen the caps and increase overall stability IMHO...

The only similarity is the appearance.

In this instance, we have main caps that are moving. We want them to stop moving, or at least limit their movement. What to do? Tie them down to something that is not moving.

I think it'll work up to a point! Here's the deal; There's these three old drunk guys walking down the street. Everything is alright while they're walking slowly (stay with me here, this is LOW RPM). One of them looks at the time and realizes that it's 5 min. to last call! They start to walk faster( that's right, HIGH RPM). Now they start to weave and wander! They grab ahold of each other and stabalize while walking briskly. The guy in the middle trips! He's a goner!!!! But wait his buddies are holding him up, they just saved him! They make it to the bar and can re-fuel for the next run. But add the shooters ( Nitrous) and our three guys will probably run into each other and take themselves out unless they are all tied to a pole with a big rope (panrail)! ... There that should make things easier to understand! ... Eric.
