Guide Signs for Freeways and Expressways Are Primarily Identified by the Name of the Sign Rather Than by an Assigned Sign Designation
2011 Edition Page 235 CHAPTER 2E. GUIDE SIGNS—FREEWAYS AND EXPRESSWAYS Section 2E.01 Scope of Freeway and Expressway Guide Sign Standards Support: 01 The provisions of this Chapter provide a uniform and effective system of signing for high-volume, high- speed motor vehicle traffic on freeways and expressways. The requirements and specifications for expressway signing exceed those for conventional roads (see Chapter 2D), but are less than those for freeway signing. Since there are many geometric design variables to be found in existing roads, a signing concept commensurate with prevailing conditions is the primary consideration. Section 1A.13 includes definitions of freeway and expressway. 02 Guide signs for freeways and expressways are primarily identified by the name of the sign rather than by an assigned sign designation. Guidelines for the design of guide signs for freeways and expressways are provided in the “Standard Highway Signs and Markings” book (see Section 1A.11). Standard: 03 The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to any highway that meets the definition of freeway or expressway facilities. Section 2E.02 Freeway and Expressway Signing Principles Support: 01 The development of a signing system for freeways and expressways is approached on the premise that the signing is primarily for the benefit and direction of road users who are not familiar with the route or area. The signing furnishes road users with clear instructions for orderly progress to their destinations. Sign installations are an integral part of the facility and, as such, are best planned concurrently with the development of highway location and geometric design. -

Shed in the History of the Land Office. Although Describing the 1830S As a Period of "Changing Ethical Standards,"
200 BOOK REVIEWS APRIL shed in the history of the Land Office. Although describing the 1830s as a period of "changing ethical standards," Rohrbough fails to ade- quately analyze those standards in a manner which would shed further light on the vexingly enigmatic Jacksonian period. The Specie Circular and the ensuing panic of 1837 marked the decline of Land Office business as a dominant force in American life. After 1841, sales of public land sank to a low of $1,500,000 from a high of $7,000,000 in 1837. Thereafter, "a new world was emerging" which was urban and industrial. Responding to the changing American environment, Con- gress paid less heed to the "colorful defenses" of the squatters in the halls of the Capitol and listened with growing infatuation to the whistles of industry. Unfortunately, Rohrbough fails to graphically portray the "colorful defenses" of those squatters. Those interested in administrative history will find The Land Office Business to be an indispensable reference work for the history of the Land Office legislation and the details of procedures used during the heyday of the Land Office. Scholars of the early national period and scholars of social history willfind this book lacking in insightful presentation of the role of the Land Office in the daily lives of the average settler.

Tillitson collection on railroads creator: Tillitson, George E. Identifier/Call Number: M0165 Physical Description: 50.5 Linear Feet(9 cartons and 99 manuscript storage boxes) Date (inclusive): 1880-1959 Abstract: Notes on the history of railroads in the United States and Canada. Conditions Governing Access The collection is open for research. Note that material is stored off-site and must be requested at least 36 hours in advance of intended use. Provenance Gift of George E. Tillitson, 1955. Special Notes One very useful feature of the material is further described in the two attached pages. This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out. -

America's Industrial Heritage Project HABS/HAER
Special Collections and University Archives The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) Materials for the America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP), also known as the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission Manuscript Group 74 For Scholarly Use Only Last Modified June 28, 2021 Indiana University of Pennsylvania 302 Stapleton Library Indiana, PA 15705-1096 Voice: (724) 357-3039 Fax: (724) 357-4891 Manuscript Group 74 HABS/HAER Materials 2 Overview In 1987, the National Park Service, in coordination with America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP), began an initiative to inventory historic sites in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), both of which form a division of the Park Service, began this multi-year historical and architectural documentation project in order to identify surviving historic engineering works and industrial resources in the region. The results of these inventories have been published by HABS/HAER through AIHP, subsequently the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission, and are available to the public. The measured drawings and the large-format photographs produced during this process have been deposited in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Copies of the drawings and photographs have been deposited at IUP. The remaining research material has also been retained at IUP, including the 35mm photographs taken by the HABS/HAER teams, some research notes and correspondence associated with the project, and maps and blueprints of regional sites and buildings. For more information and photographs of Indiana County including Claghorn, Rexis, Vintondale, and Wehrum, see Manuscript Group 139 Denise Weber Collection.
