Are there any books or manuals that describe the allowable conditions for pulling ACSR cable over and through rollers.

I need to know how big of an angle you can pull 336.5 ACSR through. One of my crews pulled the wire through a Sherman & Riely distribution (4.5" radius)making a 90 degree turn at the bottom of a pole and then went through another 90 degree turn roller at the top of the pole. They then proceeded to pull the wire through 85 degree angle on a C-suspenion pole, that should be a double deadend pole.

The wire now looks like it has waves in it and need something in writing to show the the correct way.
 

Possibly:

You could try the Southwire "Overhead Conductor Manual"
