		The curved point rail is made by curving the rail to the shape of the template, forming up the guard on the frog end, then marking and cutting the curved point rail to length by laying in place and marking it.
		With the MT rail, placing the rails side by side gives you a flangeway that exceeds.030", so you'll have to file away enough of the rail base on the guards and guard ends of the point rails to close the gap to.025".

	Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In eight-ball, straight pool, and related games, sixteen balls are employed: fifteen colored "object balls" and one white "cue ball." In most parts of the world, object balls 1 through 7 are solid-colored, and are respectively colored yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, green, and dark red or brown.
		In the carom games such as straight billiards ("straight rail"), three-cushion billiards and balkline, as well as English billiards, there are two cue balls and a red ball.
		Although a difficult and subtle game, some of the best players of straight billiards developed the skill to drive both balls into a corner and from that position were able to score a seemingly limitless number of points.
