Book Description
Excerpt from Field-Manual for Railroad Engineers Chapter I gives briefly the general method of making Re-connoissance; Chapter II treats of Preliminary Surveys; while Chapter III relates to Location. Chapter IV, on Transition-curves, follows the method adopted by Professor Crandall, and enables one to locate the transition-curve with rigid accuracy where such is necessary. Approximate methods are also given by means of which the curve may be as easily located as any of the more limited easement curves ordinarily met with. Chapter V, on Frogs and Switches, contains all that is necessary for their location. The formulas have been arranged to give the desired quantities in terms of the frog number whenever the resulting equations would be easier of application than the trigonometric ones usually given. The turnout tables are unusually full and give not only the theoretical lead but the stub lead as well, from which the practical lead can be at once found when the length of switch-rail is known. Chapter VI, on Construction, tells how to set slope-stakes, and gives simple methods for computing areas and volumes either directly or by the use of tables. A short table of prismoidal corrections is given for end sections level, and also a formula for three-level sections, by means of which a suitable table may be computed if desired. The tables at the end of this book have been arranged with a view to ease of reference, for, whatever the character of the text, the chief value of a field-book must depend upon the ease with which the tables may be consulted and upon their extent and accuracy. Table IX - Functions of a One-degree Curve - separates the logarithmic functions on the one side from the natural functions on the other and will be of assistance in locating these tables. Table XVI - Transition - curve Table-reading lengthwise of the page, likewise serves to separate the trigonometric tables from the miscellaneous tables that follow. Some engineers object to the use of logarithmic tables in the field, but for them the natural functions are at hand; while for those who prefer logarithms the five-place tables of logarithmic sines, cosines, etc., will be found easy to consult and interpolate between.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Field-Manual for Railroad Engineers Ease of reference and uniformity of notation are essential in a book that is to be consulted in the field. With this in mind an effort has been made in the following pages to secure a systematic arrangement of the subject-matter and uniformity of terms and notation. Except for a few cases Greek letters have been avoided and a single letter is used to designate an angle. In so far as practicable each figure is intended to be self-explanatory, so that the explanations necessary in connection with the problems have been reduced to a minimum. Algebraic equations stand each in a distinct line, thus rendering them more easily read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
