Anyone aware of what the tolerance for offset columns can be? Even if it isn't for angles like it is here, is there a rule of thumb? I always pegged tolerances as needed to be fractions of an inch, and small ones a that.
I wanted to go make some cool snow/winter photos this AM, but didn't have much luck. On my trek, I stopped by the Columbus bridge for a few shots of Vista though. This was the first time I noticed the offset columns, too. I originally assumed the same about the plates cantilevering further in/out. At first I thought (hoped for some odd reason) they were angled, but upon close inspection, they are more simply offset.
