Is there a "standard height" for parking ramps at a drive-in.
Like the image shown below (from cinemaequipmentsales.com), we have our site plan for the Stardust deisgned with the "double ramp system"
![-](http://www.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/showpic.cgi?dir=uploads1102&file=ramps.gif)
However, we can't find any information that clearly shows a "typical" ramp height.
We've found on the net a diagram that must have been drawn many many years ago that shows a typical ramp profile - here's the link to Brad Light's Driveinworkshop (used to be Tim Reed's site)which shows the same detail.
Drive-In Theatre Parking Ramp Detail
You can see in the "Vertical Curve Detail" in the graphic, it gives vertical elevation dimensions of 0, 3/4, 2 3/4, 6 1/4, 11, 17 1/4 spaced at 2'-0" intervals over a 10'-0" distance.
My question is..... are these vertical dimensions given in INCHES, or some arbitrary number not described anywhere else?
