Instructions for using curve calculations

To use:
Enter the radius, deflection angle and PI Station. The remaining components of the curve will be
calculated. Units will be meters or feet depending on the entered units of the radius.
R = Radius
T = Tangent Distance
L = Length of the curve
MO = Middle Ordinate
LC = Long Chord
E = External
D = Deflection Angle
PC = Point of Curvature
PI = Point of Intersection
PT = Point of Tangency
