Saddle stones

Stone Milling (Flat Milling Saddle Stone or Mano and Metate)... 

All spoil from the trench that is to be used in backfill, to the depth of 1 ft. above the pipe should be screened to remove all rock or stone greater than V2 in. in diameter. Backfill should be carefully tamped at frequent intervals to be sure that it is solidly placed around and under the pipe between saddles and tightly between the walls of the ditch, and such fill and tamping done carefully and after every few inches of backfill until one foot above the pipe line, at which time the unscreened spoil may be used, and as needed to fill the space, stone...

As outlined in the introducing chapter, the minimizers and the saddle points of index one of the energy functional are corner-stones of most reaction theories in chemistry. Thus the applicability of these theories strongly depends on the availability of mathematical methods, which compute such points in an effective manner. Therefore the current chapter is engaged in the presentation of methods, which enable to compute minima and/or saddles of a PES.
