Transition Curve: By Offsets And By Deflection Angles (1893)

The Transition Curve: By Offsets And By Deflection Angles is a book written by Charles Lee Crandall in 1893. The book is a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of transition curves, which are used to connect straight sections of track with curves of varying radii. The book covers both the offset method and the deflection angle method of designing transition curves, providing detailed instructions and examples for each. It also includes a discussion of the history of transition curves and their importance in railway engineering. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both engineers and laypeople interested in the subject. Overall, The Transition Curve is an important contribution to the field of railway engineering and a valuable resource for anyone involved in the design and construction of railway tracks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
