    To find the Radius for a curved rail:

  • Step 1: Starting at the last post in the straight run (point A), lay 
    cloth tape along the path that the curved guide rail will follow.

  • Step 2: Mark-off two points along the curved cloth tape: one at 6'-3", (point B) and the second at 12'-6" (point C).

  • Step 3: Pull string directly from starting point (point A) to the second mark-off point (point C).

  • Step 4: Measure from the first marked-off point (point B) over to the mid-point of the taut string. this measurement (D) is the rise or "middle ordinate."

  • Step 5: Check the chart to find the Radius (R), given the Rise (D).

  • Example: a Rise of 3 7/8" inches would result in a Radius of 60 feet.
