Earthwork Tables.

Tables for Computing the Contents of Earthwork in the Cuttings and Embankments of Railways, by W. Macgregor, royal 8vo, cloth 6 0

"It is a difficult matter to compute the amount of earthwork removed from cuttings and piled up into embankments for railways; owing to the unevenness of the surface of the ground, it is, in fact, impossible to obtain absolute accuracy, and all that can be done is to calculate as close to truth as practicable. For this purpose Mr. Maogregor has compiled these tables, which will give the approximate quantity, sometimes more and sometimes less. The tables are arranged for cuttings of 30 ft. base, with slopes varying from 1/4 to I to 2 1/2 to 1, and for bases of 15 ft. to 36 ft. with slopes of 1 1/2 to 1 or 2 to 1." - English Mechanic.
