Excerpt from Methods for Earthwork Computations

Rule 1 Of that chapter formulates a statement by which the terms involved in the computation may be written directly from the notes, without any intermediate steps and without drawing any figure, the symbolized form Of the rule enabling the computer to apply it without difficulty; and Arts. 24 and 25 explain in full its application to the complicated solid shown in Fig. 17. Other rules in the same chapter provide simpler methods for special cases, but Rule 1 is the fundamental rule, applicable to the general solid.

Excerpt from Methods for Earthwork Computations

An attempt has been made in this book to formulate a series of rules by which the terms necessary for the numerical computation of volumes, either by the prismoidal formula or by the average end area method, may be written directly from the notes. In each of the first three chapters a general rule, applicable to any case, is first stated; and then special rules, applicable to the cases that most frequently occur in practice, are given, these rules gaining in simplicity as their application becomes more limited.

Tables and diagrams have been issued in large numbers, each prepared for a special case and necessarily limited in extent, and many of them are valuable in their separate fields. But the slide rule has been coming into such general use in recent years that the author has deemed it advisable to prepare one, described in Chapter VI, that may be used for earthwork determinations. The adopted arrangement of the scales makes the instrument general in application, so much so that it will enable the computer to determine the volume in any case considered in this book.

The author wishes to call the reader's attention to Appendix III, in which the rules are stated in a manner that, it is believed, will make their application in practice simple and rapid, with little chance of error.
