The Transition Curve Or Curve Of Adjustment: As Applied To The Alignment Of Railroads (1907)

The Transition Curve or Curve of Adjustment: As Applied to the Alignment of Railroads is a book written by Norman Benjamin Kellogg and published in 1907. The book discusses the concept of the transition curve, which is a mathematical curve used in the alignment of railroads to provide a smooth transition between the straight track and the curved track. Kellogg explains the theory and practical application of the transition curve, including its calculation and construction, and provides examples of its use in railway engineering. The book is aimed at engineers and students of railway engineering and provides a comprehensive guide to the use of the transition curve in railroad alignment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
