Description

So I'm trying to make a 10" rack reference model in Fusion360 and used the image from [The 10" Mini Rack Standard](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mini-rack#the-10-mini-rack-standard) section. But it turns out that the image has inconsistencies regarding the hole center to opposite hole center.

Image

For a 10" rack, the most outer distance from the outer edge of one rail to the other, it is 254mm [10"]. The inner distance from the inner point to the other inner point of the rails is 222.25mm [8.75"] which means one rail has to be 15.875mm [0.625"] wide. Now it incorrectly says the center of one mounting hole to the exact opposite side is 236.525 mm [9.312"] but this can not be correct because then 7.9375 mm * 2 + 236.525 mm should equal 254 mm [10"] but it's 252.4mm.

I noticed the same error for the 19" version, which is also being displayed there.

So what I'm really trying to get is what exactly are the right measurements for a 10" rack.

Research direction

Start at the “The 10" Mini Rack Standard” section linked in the issue and inspect the referenced dimension image, including the corresponding 19" version. Check the hole-center, rail-width, and outer-dimension relationships against the reported measurements, then update the displayed dimensions so the diagram is internally consistent and verify both rack sizes.
