The street railway review . ^^o/tfs or Ct/^i/rsRATIO OF SPEED TO CENTRIFUGAI, FORCE ON CURVES. connnon elevated railroad the structure requires nearly double thiswidth, which circumstance allows the suspended railways to runeven in the narrowest streets where ordinary elevated railwayswould be impossible. For the same reason, and on account of thepeculiar construction of the suspended railway as shown LONGITUDINAL u4ND TRANSVERSE SECTION OF SUSPENDED RAILWAY STATION. about one-si.\th of that of an ordinary railway assuming the samespeed. The acconipanymg diagram shows the ratio between thecentrifugal force and weight for speeds up to 125 miles per hourand radii of curves up to 13,000 ft., and shows clearly the advantagewhich the suspended niono-rail system has in this respect over theordinary two-rail system. The lines of the road can follow ex-actly the lines of the streets, and the corners can be turned without
