CURVE TABLES. <br />Published by KEUFFEL & ESSER CO. <br />HOW TO USE CURVE TABLES. <br />Table I. contains Tangents and Externals to a 1° curve. Tan. and <br />Ext. to any other radius may befound nearly enough, bydividing theTan. <br />or Ext. opposite the given Central -Angle by the given degree of curve. <br />To find Deg. of Curve, having the Central Angle and Tangent: <br />Divide Tan-. opposite the given Central Angle by the given Tangent. <br />To find Deg. of Curve, having the Central Angle and External: <br />Divide Ext. opposite the given Central Angle by the given External. <br />To find Nat.
