I'm still a little confused. If I layout the station forms according to figure 4-13 and the endforms according to figure 4-15, the DWL on the station forms does not line up with the DLW on the endforms. Figure 4-16 shows the DWL on the endforms at the base of the strongback, but on the station forms the DWL is 2" below the strongback. I think I understand how it has to work but something still jive.
