) = Circular offset from tangent
X = X coordinate of position, measured from entry end of switch
R = Radius of curvature

Linear Offset Computation.
Variable Definitions:
b = Desired distance between rail centerlines at entry end of
tongue.
Y = Vertical offset
Y = ax + b
At X = 0, Y = b
At X = L, Y = 0
Solve for constant -a compute each required offset -Y.
