The jackrail keeps the jacks from flying out of the instrument when it's played. Two supports glued to the case walls above the register gap hold it at the correct position.
Here's one of the two jackrail supports:
Both supports are made from Alaska yellow cedar about 11 mm thick. A 1/4" groove in each will receive the ends of the jackrail. I plan to cut off the non-scrolled end at a 45 degree angle, which will look nicer.
