...erected. This palace will serve also as a sounding-board for a space presenting very difficult acoustic conditions. On either side of the royal palace will be a passage leading to the orchestra, located between the front row of seats and the palace, which, with it, forms practically a tangent. In this circular space of ground, about 65 feet in diameter, with its periphery marked by an apparent curbstone, the chorus and actors will perform their parts. In the centre of this circle will be erected the altar of Dionysus, under which the musicians and the prompter will be stationed...
...sudden pronounced change from straight-away to turn exerts a detrimental effect upon the gait and speed of the runner. In the new track this difficulty has been removed by the introduction of a gradual transition curve in the approach at either end. This transition curve is in three tangent area, each twenty feet in length. The radius of the first is three hundred and eighty two feet, thus making the departure from the straight-away very gradual. In the second, the radius is shortened to one hundred and ninety-one feet, making the curve a trifle greater...
