Re: (ET) Frame Question
As others have said, should be straight.
Back when I lived in NY, I met a gentleman from western Massachusetts.
He was in his final year of running a machine shop. He recalled that in
his younger days when he was working on the floor as an new employee
that they were making the frames for GE. So they were one of the shops
that (at that time) had the big presses needed to bend the thick steel
for the frame.
Tooling to do it with an arch would have been impressive...

Looking at the frame on sawhorses it appears to have a crown to it. Not
something caused by damage. Looks like the frame was manufactured that
way with a slight arch.
