Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineer's Field Book
The following tables show the distance from the point of inter section oi the tangent lines to the beginning of a one degree curve, the angle of deflection (=angle at centre) being known.
In the columns, under the head of degrees and opposite the min utes, are given the distances in feet from the intersection of tan gents to the beginning of one degree curve.
To ascertain the distance for any given degree of curve, divide the distance given in the tables for a One degree curve, by the degrees of the required curve, and you have the distance from the point of intersection to the beginning or end of curve.
