Book Overview

The Transition Curve or Curve of Adjustment: As Applied to the Alignment of Railroads is a book written by Norman Benjamin Kellogg and originally published in 1907. The book focuses on the concept of the transition curve, which is a mathematical formula used in the design of railroad tracks to ensure a smooth and safe transition between straight tracks and curved tracks. Kellogg explains the history and development of the transition curve, as well as its practical applications in railroad engineering. He provides detailed explanations of the mathematical formulas used to calculate the transition curve, and includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts.The book is aimed at engineers and other professionals involved in the design and construction of railroads, but it may also be of interest to students and enthusiasts of transportation history and engineering. Overall, The Transition Curve or Curve of Adjustment is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to an important aspect of railroad design and engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
