Excerpt from Methods of Location
IN submitting this work to the public, I do not wish to claim for myself its exclusive authorship. A few of the first solutions were the work of my comrades on the Pennsylvania Railway; these falling into my hands suggested the idea of a complete series of Geometric solutions applicable to all cases that might occur.
In' such a work I considered it of import ance to dispense with all difficult calculations, and even with tabular statements, which can not be committed to memory.. In this I have happily succeeded; there is nothing in the fol lowing pages which may not be remembered by an assistant after a short practice, and executed in the field even if the book be left at home.
