Also, for anyone who doesn't want to go through the hassle of opening up the field drawings, here is a screen shot of the drawing that shows the relevant changes. (Please excuse the size)

The change makes two improvements in the ramp. First, the polycarbonate ramp has been turned over and the aluminum angle, which was below the ramp has been removed. This makes the angle of the ramp steeper and it will bet even steeper when the bridge is pushed down. Look at GE-12064 to see that the aluminum angle has been removed. This drawing shows the polycarbonate upside down, guess FIRST didn't want to take time to flip it. GE-12017 page 1 shows the new orientation of the ramp. As before, the ramp is pulled up tight under the bridge.
This will help some, but the polycarbonate just isn't rigid enough and will continue to sag down to the edge of the bridge. What would really help is some edge strip to hold the polycarbonate straight.
