This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...be avoided. Curves should not be laid out arbitrarily. A curve should always have its reason. This is afforded by a natural obstacle or by the topography. If natural obstacles do not exist, they can be introduced in the design. (3) Wings. In order to increase the effective width of a park walk, wings of gravel 4 feet wide on each side are often used. These wings may have the full cinder foundation as in the cement, asphalt or brick pavement. In economical construction the cinder foundation is omitted. (See Fig. 15, on page 47.) When the paths are not crowded, all of the walking will be on the middle part, the wings Fig. 23. PATHS 67 being of convenience in passing and when the walks are crowded. The depth of the gravel is 4 inches. The gravel should be of such a character that it will readily bind. It should be of suitable color and its surface should be continuous with that of the middle portion of the walk. Crushed stone will not answer for this purpose. (4) Entrances. Where a park walk joins an exterior walk on the center line of a street, the street center line produced should coincide with a tangent to the center line of the walk at the point of entrance. If so designed the entrance will look correct to a person driving down the street toward it and will afford equal ease of access to the park in both directions. (See Fig. 23 on page 66.) Corner entrances should be so laid out that they may be equally easy of access from both street cross-walks. This is illustrated in Figs. 24 and 25, on page 68, the first showing the correct design and the second the incorrect. Cement Paths. Interior walks are crowned in the middle. The crown is of two kinds, straight and curved. The first consists of two planes intersecting on the center line of the path;...
