Assume that the radius of one curve is to be altered with-out changing either tangent. Assume conditions as in Fig. 34. For the diagrammatic solutionassume that i?2 is to be increasedby O2S. Then, since R2 mustpass through Oj and extend be-yond Oi a distance 0,*S, the,locus of the new center must lieon the arc drawn about 0, ascenter and with OiS as locus of O2 is a] so givenby a line Oa/) parallel to BVand at a distance of 7?/ (equalto S .. ) from it. Thenew center is therefore at O2. An arc with ra-dius R2 will therefore be tangentat B and tangent to the olrfcurve produced at new Draw Otti perpendicular to O2B. |. Fig. 34. § 70.

The solution is similarand is suggested as a profitable exercise. It might also be assumed that, instead of making a givenchange in the radius Ro, a given change BB^ is to be made. J2and 7^2 ^^^ required. Eliminate R2 from Eqs. 28 and 29and solve the resulting equation for J2. Then determine R2by a suitable inversion of either Eq. 28 or 29. As in §§ 62 and 63, the above problems are but a few, althoughperhaps the most common, of the problems the engineer maym
