Assume the same case as (b) except that the larger radiu^comes first and that the tangent adjacent to the smaller radiuqis moved. In Fig. 33 (R^—Ri) cos i, =Ojn;(E2-7?i)cosii=OiV. x=0in—0in= (7^2—-^i) (cos i/—cos ^i). cos i/ = cos JI X R2-K (26).

In case the tangent is moved inward, transpose as before andwe have cos J/=cos Ji X .R2—R1 (27) The is moved backward d. 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. |
