Excerpt from Earthwork Haul and Overhaul: Including Economic Distribution This book presents answers to all questions on computation of overhaul and on the use of the mass curve in planning distribution, which have arisen during an experience covering a wide range of conditions. Part I is planned to serve five classes of men: railroad engineers, railroad contractors, computers, students, and teachers. Engineers responsible for overhaul computation may be aided in selecting a method of computation by reading Sections 47-55, 146 and 203, and can obtain inform results by merely directing their subordinates to follow the instructions given in Chapter VI or Chapter VII for the selected method. Computers, having been directed to use a given method of computing overhaul, will find in either Chapter VI or Chapter I VII a complete plan of procedure under the method. I Railroad contractors about to submit bids on work involving overhaul, will find the descriptions of bases and methods of computation of overhaul, given in Chapters V, VI, and VII, a ready means of coming to a definite understanding with railroad engineers as to the way in which the overhaul is to be computed. Students of overhaul, in school or out, will find in Chapters I-V a full presentation of each of the elements of overhaul! computation. The beginner is advised to proceed at once to I compute the overhaul for some simple case similar to that shown in Fig. 19, by Method IV (Sections 89-99), studying the references under each step no more than may be necessary to execute the step intelligently. A working knowledge of the essentials and routine of one method thus acquired furnishes the groundwork necessary for the most profitable study of other portions of the book.
