Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Transition Spiral The railway transition spiral here presented is a flexible easement curve of general applicability and of comparatively easy analysis. The conceptions and methods used are similar to those of ordinary circular railroad curves. The definition is based upon degree-of-curve, and degree-of-curve, central angle, and deflection angle may be calculated, and the curve may be located by transit and chain or by co-ordinates from tangent and circular curve. The field work is quite similar to that of circular curves. The spiral is easily applied to a variety of field problems and to a wide range of location and old track conditions. In the principal formulas, angles, co-ordinates, offsets, etc., are expressed in terms of the length or distance along the spiral. The use of series in the development of the properties permits an estimate of the error involved in discarding negligible terms The principal easement curves in use give alignments which approach each other very closely, so that, for equal easements, it may be expected that the riding qualities will not differ sensibly. In general, ease of calculation, simplicity of field work, and general applicability and flexibility will determine the form of easement curve to be selected. To establish the underlying principles of an easement curve of any range requires considerable mathematical analysis. The ordinary treatment of circular railway curves assumes previous knowledge of the geometrical properties of the circular curve, but the properties of the railway spiral must be deduced from the beginning. Fortunately the spiral is not complex, and its properties prove to be simple and general. A general treatment of such a curve has many advantages over approximate or special treatments. Approximate solutions may overlook important variables, and short methods may be limited to short and inefficient easements. The range of conditions of railway curves is so wide that it is best to develop methods of fairly general applicability, and these may then be simplified in meeting individual conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transition Spiral: And Its Introduction to Railway Curves With Field Exercises in Construction and Alignment The aim of this handbook is to afford concise and complete demonstration of the introduction of transition curves, or spirals, in the various argument problems that accrue in connection with the construction or improvement of railway curves. Now the extent to which such problems can be satisfactorily essayed depends upon the mathematical development of the form of transition adopted, and the facility with which this development admits utilisation in the field - the effective compromise of mathematical truth with practical precision. Hence, besides fulfilling its objective function, the ideal transition curve must be easy and flexible in construction; a curve with simple, definite relations to main curves and straights; and, above all, one which can be introduced without the aid of special tables, such as hamper the construction of American tabular spirals. The curve most readily amenable to these requirements is to be found in the clothoid = m the spiral advanced and investigated in this connection by Mr. James Glover, M.A., A.M.I.C.E., in a paper read to the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shelf2Life Trains & Railroads Collection provides a unique opportunity for researchers and railroad enthusiasts to easily access and explore pre-1923 titles focusing on the history, culture and experience of railroading. From the revolution of the steam engine to the thrill of early travel by rail, railroads opened up new opportunities for commerce, American westward expansion and travel. These books provide a unique view of the impact of this type of transportation on our urban and rural societies and cultures, while allowing the reader to share the experience of early railroading in a new and unique way. The Trains & Railroads Collection offers a valuable perspective on this important and fascinating aspect of modern industrialization.
