lines, measure back along each line until the tape first meets the straight
edge of each kerb.
The
exact point where the tape first touched each
kerb must be carefully marked with chalk, and the distance from those
two points to point Arecorded in
the
rough sketch note-book. Again
beginning at-point A, mark off equal distances with chalk on the road
along the lines from Ato each point on the kerb, as shown. Any
suitable distance can be selected from about 2to
10
feet, according to
the
formation of
the
curve. A
number
of convenient points should
then be marked with chalk on
the
actual kerb, and two measurements
taken from each of
the
latter points to
the
points already fixed on
the
road, as illustrated in Fig. 5. It will be noticed
that
the
triangulation
system is again revealed, and
the
position of
the
points on
the
kerb or
rounded corner can be definitely fixed by using three known distances.
When drawing the corner on.
the
plan in accordance with
the
triangulation method, the extended kerb lines serve as base lines for
the
triangles, and by using
the
measurements in the rough sketch note-
book as a radius, the points on
the
rounded kerb can be plotted to scale
and the curve drawn in.
The
practice of drawing an independent rough sketch in
the
note-
book is appreciated on completion of a plan of a rounded corner, as it
prevents the original sketch of
the
road junction from becoming
overcrowded with figures.
The
procedure described for
the
survey of splayed
and
rounded
corners is applicable to all junctions of a corresponding character.
Dexterity and confidence in practice can be attained by experience
and
familiarity with
the
manipulation of the tape, rough sketch note-book,
and chalk. (To be continued.)
