Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Field Engineer: A Handy Book of Practice in the Survey, Location, and Track-Work of Railroads; Containing a Large Collection of Rules and Tables, Original and Selected, Applicable to Both the Standard and the Narrow Gauge

These chapters are followed by instructions as to the adj ust ment and use of instruments, and hints concerning field rou tine, which it is thought will be found acceptable to the inexperienced learner. The same may be said of the articles on staking out work, and those on track problems, with which the text of the book closes. They have been written with the author's own early ignorance in mind, and with a wish to set the subjects forth as plainly as possible, disembarrassed of hard words in the description, and of unpractical niceties in the operation.
