Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Freight Rates: Official Classification Territory and Eastern Canada In offering this work to the public, the authors wish to state that it is designed with a view to setting forth the underlying principles and bases employed in constructing rates in the so-called Official Classification Territory. The rates used in the illustrations may be expected to change slightly from time to time, but this will not affect the general worth of the book, since the relationship of points is at all times preserved to some degree. The difficulties attending the preparation of a work in which specific rates are used can well be appreciated by men actually engaged in traffic work. In preparing this treatise, the authors have availed themselves of the published bases for rate construction employed in Central Freight Association, Trunk Line Association, and New England Freight Association territories. In addition thereto, many railway officials and traffic experts have been consulted and information acquired through personal interviews and correspondence. The authors wish to express their appreciation of the assistance received from these sources. The authors are under special obligation to Ralph E. Riley, of the LaSalle Extension University, for the assistance rendered in preparing the maps and diagrams and illustrations; to Asa Colton, of the same institution, who assisted in the preparation of the manuscript and offered many valuable suggestions; and also to Miss C. E. Brant for the assistance she rendered in preparing the manuscript for the printer, and in editing and revising proofs with such care that she corrected many inaccuracies that would otherwise have found their way into the text.
