Helical staircase design is given in Reynold's Handbook.Has anyone any idea as to how to use those equations.Problem is with the use of values of angles given in those equations.If we use all values in radians then those equations give eroneous results and vice versa.Reasonalable results are obtained we use value of theta in radians and trignometric functions in degrees.

I am waiting for the comments on this.
thanks in advance
