VIII <br />TABLE IL - Radii, Ordinates and Deflections, Chord =100 ft.' <br />The mfddIe ordinate .n inches for any cord of length (C) is equal to .0012 C' <br />multiplied by the lnfdd�e ordinate taken from the above table. Thus, if it <br />desired to bend a 30 ft. rail to fit a 10 degree curve, its middle ordinate should <br />be .0012X900X2.183 or 2.36 inches. <br />TABLE III.
