    William Henry Searles, Howard Chapin Ives

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...be the value of the angle i. When R, = Ri, cot t = 0 and i--90 and the tangent point J will be on a perpendicular to BA drawn through the middle point K; and a = /. On the contrary, as (R3--Ri1 increases, i becomes less, and the foot, H, of the perpendicular HI moves toward B, the tangent point of the curve of smaller radius Bi. The distance HK = p cot i. The connecting curve is farthest from the tangent BA at /. To find the ordinate from BA to the curve' at any other point, subtract from p the tangent offset for the length of curve from I to the ordinate in question. ยง115, eq. (39) may be used on flat curves with tolerable accuracy, even when the distance equals several hundred feet. IV. It is evident that in this problem R, must be greater than either R, or R3. As the centre 0, is taken nearer the line Oi03i i?a grows less, and is a minimum when 0a falls on the line 0,03. In this case we have Aa = 180, and B, = i(Ba + R, +Oi03); a minimum. (183) This limit must be regarded in assuming the value of Ra. Since 0,0,-0,03-(i?,-R,1-(R2-iis) = (R,-i?,) a constant value, independent of Ri, we infer that the centre 0a is always on a hyperbola of which Oi and Oa are the foci; (B3--i?i) equals the diameter on the axis joining the foci; and I equals the diameter at right angles to it, for in the triangle 0,00,, ia = 'OTO?-(R,-R,1 (184) 178.
