Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Field Manual for Railroad Engineers Classic Reprint written by J. C. Nagle and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. A knowledge of the elements of geometry and trigonometry has been assumed, and only in the derivation of a few formulas in connection with the theory of transition-curves will any higher mathematics be needed. But these formulas may be accepted by the reader who is unfamiliar with the calculus without in any way affecting his ability to understand their applications or to follow subsequent reasoning. One can most readily turn to what he wants in a book after hav ing become familiar with its contents in the classroom. Keeping this in mind this book has been written so that it may be used as a text as' well as for reference in the field. Wherever practicable solutions to problems have been given in a rigid, general form, followed by illustrative examples, so that the student need not lose 'sight of the principle involved while following the solution for a particular case. Wherever approximate solutions seemed preferable they have also been given and their limitations pointed out.

Animal Transportation; VII. Tables, Weights, Measures, and Specific Gravities In April, 1899, the Chief of Engineers directed the commandant ot the En neer School to enter upon the preparation of an Engineer Field anual. At the same time all officers of the Engineer Corps who had been in the field during the Spanish War were invited to contribute data and suggestions, and many of them did so. At the Engineer School the work of compilation was committed to the instructor in civil engineering, then Capt. Henry J ervey, and under his control, and mostly by his own hand, a general plan of a manual was worked out, manuscript and plates prepared on the subjects of reconnaissance and bridges, and.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Military Field Engineering: For the Use of Officers and Troops of the Line The necessity existing at the Infantry and Cavalry School for a text-book on Field Engineering, including the various military expedients recognized in our service, is deemed sufficient reason for the following pages. Most of the subjects treated of in this volume may be found in various military works published in our country during the past twenty-five years, but the fact remains that no one book has covered the required ground, nor has their revision been of very recent date; while, at the same time, the new field gun and small calibre rifle have necessarily modified previously existing profiles of Field Works and Shelter Trenches. Access has been had to corresponding publications of the Germans, French, English and Austrians, as well as to our own Official Rebellion Records and many other available sources, native and foreign. It has been the endeavor to limit the scope of this work to subjects considered indispensable as a part of a line officer's education. The following Assistant Instructors in the Department of Engineering - viz.: 1st Lieut. E. A. Root, 19th Infantry; 1st Lieut. W. C. Wren, 17th Infantry, and 1st Lieut. T. H. Slavens, 6th Cavalry, have been associated with the undersigned in the preparation of this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineers' Manual This work originated from the conception that the practicing engineer or engineering student would welcome a consolidation of the formulas and constants for which he is accustomed to Search through several volumes and that the application Of each formula might be explained more concisely than in texts devoted exclusively to the process Of derivation. With this end in view those engineering formulas, mathematical operations and tables Of constants which appear to be most useful are presented in systematic order and in a Size of book designed to fit the pocket. Each formula is preceded by a statement in which its appli cation, the symbology Of the involved physical quantities and definite units of measurement are indicated. It is believed that this method Of presentation increases the speed of selection and understanding of a desired formula and insures greater accuracy Of substitution Since data units of any kind may be converted into specified units by reference to the table of conversion fac tors. The sequence Of the formulas is based generally upon their order Of derivation so that the understanding of a formula may be enlarged by inspection of the formulas which precede it. All catchwords, symbols and formulas are printed in full face type and each formula or group of formulas is numbered to facili tate reference to the text or cross reference between formulas.

Download or read book Wire Entanglements written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wire Entanglements: Addenda No; 1 to Engineer Field Manual 1. The object of these notes is to standardize the construction of obstacles throughout the American Expeditionary Forces and to limit the patterns taught and used. Such portions of previously published works on wire entanglements, as conflict with these notes, will not be used by the troops in France. 2. To insure that all training is directed to the same purpose, these patterns of entanglements and the drills for erecting them will be standard and will have the force of regulations. Units are forbidden to adopt any other types without previous sanction. If any better type or drill is discovered, the fact should be reported. The new method will then be thoroughly tested and if found more satisfactory, will be officially substituted for the old one, and all the units in training will be so informed. 3. If the occasions demands it, these standard obstacles may be modified to suit such conditions as may arise, due to lack of men, materials, etc., but only by the substitution of smooth for barbed wire, the use of wooden pickets for screw pickets, or the omission of portions of the obstacle, such as one of the aprons of the apron fence. Men trained according to the standard drills should be able to construct the modified entanglements without special practice. 4. The following are the patterns adopted: (1) Belts of ribard wire. (2) Low wire entanglement. (3) Double apron fence. (4) French high wire entanglement. (5) Portable wire obstacles. Troops will be trained in the construction of the ribard wire, the low wire entanglement, the double apron fence and portable wire obstacles. The French high wire entanglement is included in this book for the use of troops serving on the French front. General Principles 5. Location. Barbed wire entanglements should be located in accordance with the following principles: (a) They must be covered at every point by our own rifle or machine gun fire, either frontal or enfilade. Special emphasis must be laid on Flanquement, that principle which consists in so siting the entanglement and machine gun positions in reference to each other that the front of the entanglement is swept by the fire from the machine guns.
