Fig. 33. of the curve to any other point are determinable. These valuesare compiled in Table IV. The corresponding values of theseangles when the increase in the degree of curvature per chordlength is 30, and when it is 2°, are also given in Table IV. 49. Connection of spiral with circular curve and with Fig. 33.* Let AV and 5F be the tangents to be connected * The student should at once appreciate the fact of the necessary distor-tion of the figure. The distance MM in Fig. 33 is perhaps 100 times its realproportional value. 52 RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION. § 49. by a D° curve, having a suitable spiral at each end. If nospirals were to be used, the problem would be solved as in simplecurves giving the curve AMB Introducing the spiral has theeffect of throwing the curve away from the vertex a distanceMM^ and reducing the central angle of the Z)° curve by 2(j).Continuing the curve beyond Z and Z^ to .4 and B\ we willhave AA^ = BB^ = MM\ ZK=ihe x ordinate and is thereforeknown.
