Based on this... what should the degrees of graduation be in tightening of curves; 2 degrees per some-odd distance or some larger degree per whatever distance? Is all of this covered in Armstrong's book?

With proper spiral easements you will be amazed at the ability of your equipment to negotiate tight curves. It's also especially important when operating equipment of dissimilar lengths. There is a simple formula in John Armstrong's track planning bible, Track Planning for Realistic Operation. Believe me, it works, it looks really cool, and it's easy to do.
