Re: Field Corner Dimensions Missing from Field Drawings?
I'll guess the design intent is to keep the exposed carpet (aptly called the Lunatic Fringe by a prominent CDer) width uniform around the regolith.
The fueling station with is shown as 4' 2-1/2" on the 2009 Arena Layout and Markings drawing. The fringe width (space between regolith and rail) is eighteen inches. Knowing those two dimensions you can construct the triangular cut-out at each regolith corner.
However, my guess above is not consistent with the detailed Launch Pad view shown on the second sheet of the 2009 Arean Layout and Markings drawing. That view seems to show that the regolith corner cut-out is NOT perpendicular to the long axis of the Launch Pad. Is this the source of your confusion?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
