The lede for the article states ...
"A basket-handle arch is an arch with the profile of its intrados (inner surface) formed by a sequence of circular arcs with neighboring ones being tangent to each other (smoothly transitioning), and the end ones tangent with supports."
The pointed arch has a pointed crown, not a smooth transition. All the example bridges have smooth crowns. It is one of the characteristics of these types of arches, they have an odd numer of centers. Practically speaking, how could one pick up or carry a "crowned handle"? I propose reverting the change to the previous edit which was ogive. Does anyone have better thoughts? Cheers Risk Engineer ( talk) 16:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
