Description

Set of 49 (3 missing) wooden railway curves in a box from 2 to 120 in radius (some repaired).

Used for drawing arcs of circles on plans.

The box is too small for the set of curves: either the box may not be original or there are curves from one or more sets. The set comprises the following curves: from 2 in to 10 in by 0.5 in (14 curves present – three missing 2.5 in, 3.5, in and 5.5 in); from 11 in to 25 in by 1 in (15 curves present); from 30 in to 100 in by 5 in (15 curves present) and from 110 in to 120 in by 10 in (2 curves present).
