It's a modular system. In the manual, the part on the right-hand side of the rail in the picture below is labelled the "cap", while the part on the left-hand side is labelled "Connector". What's not clear to me is how they connect together, and how fiddly they are to take apart and add or remove sections. Does anyone have an experience with these older rails, or a link to a manual or something that explains? I already have the one general manual that is on the Butkus site, but it doesn't go into details on the rails.
