Inthe sixth column place the algebraic sum of the quantities in thefifth column (calling cuts + and fills -) from the starting-point to the station considered. These algebraic sums at eachstation will be the ordinates, drawn to some scale, of the masscurve. The scale to be used will depend somewhat on whether. §132. EARTHWORK. 157 the work is heavy or light, but for ordinary cases a scale of5000 cubic yards per inch may be used. Drawing these ordi-nates to scale, a curve A, B,...G may be obtained by joiningthe extremities of the ordinates. Sta. Yard.| S;l Material. Shrinkagefactor. Yards, reduced for shrinkage.
