"Reference Book of Tables and Formulas for Electric Railway Engineers" is a comprehensive resource compiled by Earle Abbott Merrill, likely intended for professionals and students in the late 19th century. This book provides a wealth of essential data, mathematical formulas, and tables tailored specifically for the design, construction, and operation of electric railways. Covering topics such as track geometry, electrical systems, and mechanical components, this reference book would have served as an indispensable tool for engineers working on the burgeoning electric railway systems of the era.
Although originally published in 1894, the fundamental engineering principles and mathematical relationships presented within remain relevant, offering insights into the historical development of railway technology and engineering practices. Modern readers interested in the history of technology, railway engineering, or electrical engineering will find this book a valuable resource for understanding the foundations upon which contemporary systems are built.
