Synopsis
Excerpt from Field-Book for Railroad Engineers: Containing Formulae for Laying Out Curves, Determining Frog Angles, Levelling, Calculating Earth-Work, Etc., Etc.; Together With Tables of Radii, Ordinates, Deflections, Long Chords, Magnetic Variation, Logarithms, Logarithmic and Natural Sines, Tangents
Ble. Those specially prepared for this work have been computed with great care. The values have in some cases been carried out farther than ordinary practice requires, in order that interpolated values may be obtained from them more accurately. For the greater part of the material composing the Table of Magnetic Variation the author is indebted to Professor Bache, whose distinguished ability ir conducting the operations of the Coast Survey is equalled only by his desire to diffuse its results. The remaining tables have been carefully examined by comparing them with others of approved reputation for accuracy. Many errors have in this way been detected in some of the tables of corresponding extent in general use, particularly in the Table of Squares, Cubes, &c., and the Tables of Logarith mic and Natural Sines, Cosines, dzc. The number of tables might have been greatly increased, but for an unwillingness to insert any thing not falling strictly within the plan of the work or not resting on sufiicient authority.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides civil engineers with practical and precise formulas to lay out and calculate railroad curves, and also to determine the length of the curves and the proper positions for connecting turnouts and crossings, all based on the author's extensive experience. The author presents these procedures in the context of the broader history of surveying and mathematics, placing his work alongside that of the greats in the field. The book combines theory with practical, on-the-ground experience. Beyond the technical aspects, the book delves into geometry, angles, and chords, referencing tables and diagrams for easy understanding. With its insights into railroad engineering, this book is a valuable resource for civil engineers involved in railroad design and construction, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to design and implement efficient and safe rail systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282798000_0
