I am building the Secretary desk from FWW issues 154 to 156 and am stuck on a door detail, the large tombstone doors on the top part. The diagram shows the upper rail to be 5 1/2 inches wide. The arc is to be 4 inches radius, offset 1/2 inch below the bottom of the upper rail. That would place the top of this arc 2 inches below the top of the upper rail. Yet in scaling the drawing and the photograph of the doors the top of the arc appears to be between 2.5 and 2.6 inches below the top edge of the rail. Does that mean that the rail is actually 6 inches wide? Screen capture of the article page is attached.
Any help is appreciated,
Herman
