Dick,
Want a picture of the one in my garage? It is continuous. Maybe yours
isn't. Until you look you are guessing. I wouldn't be surprised to see
two different designs, BTW. I don't care much what the books say. They
are often incorrect or incomplete. I'll be happy to send a snapshot of
the rack in my garage to certify my findings. ; ^) Sorry about your
B.A. I only respond when I'm fairly certain I'm right, or else I say I'm
not sure. We are all trying to help.
Jim
