To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
R the radius of curvature, and 32 the accelerating force of gravity. The force tending to throw the car from the rail is not centrifugal but tangential, but it matters not whether the body is kept in position by tension upon the inside or by compression on the outside ; the amount of the force is the same. The horizontal pro jection of the centre of gravity of the car, when at rest, is at c, fig. 148, and when in motion the direction of the weight should be a b ; and the inclination, c a b, mus...t be such that a b will be perpen dicular to c a ] to effect which, c b should be to a b as the weight to the tangential force ; or E being the elevation of the rail, g the gauge, TFthe weight, and c the tangential force; we have E-.

Radius of curve. JE= elevation of outer rail in feet and decimals.
