Simple formulas given for permissible speeds and elevations, equilibrium speeds and elevations, lengths of spirals, and offsets and ordinates of spiral curve; formulas accompanied by tables which permit quick selection of elements of problem best suited to known conditions; study based on unbalanced elevation of 3 in. and rate of runoff of elevation of 1 1/4 in. per sec.
