On the issue of runners for a Mission style rocker–similar to the Stickley Harvey Ellis chair–does anyone have an opinion on the radius of the runners?
The local Library is of no help. Same with the bookstores.
Thank you.

This book by Robert W. Lang has the radius to the inside of a 7/8 thick(I assume steam bent) rocker for a Gustav Stickley No.323 at 50 3/8 inches.

I don't have the preceding book of his but assume there is a rocker or two in it as well.

Mr. Lang ( BobLang ) uses this site so maybe he'll chime in with more info.
