On the Theoretical Resistances of Railroad Curves
The writer is impressed with the belief that too little attention has been given to the theory of the resistance which a curved track offers to the passage of a railway train. Efforts have often been made to determine the amount of this resistance experimentally, with greatly varying results, but very few attempts have been made, so far as the writer is aware, to investigate analytically the elements which together make up the sum of such resistance.
