: The line drawings show the center barrier with some type of material a few inches high that runs along the floor the entire width of the field.
: Nothing in the components table under "center barrier" is that long.
: longest part there is:

Joe,
You are reading the print right. There is a 3.5" high (nominal 4"

board that runs across the field as a "Center Barrier". That's what you see in the "CENTER BARRIER WITHOUT BRIDGE B-B" view on sheet 2.
Three boards span the field as the center barrier, with the one in the middle serving as the fulcrum of the bridge. The middle board has the steel angles attached to it.
