Try the following for your jig... at least as I understand you..

Also... if the length of your square is 1 meter and you place it so that
it tangents the circle at its midpoint, then the end should be roughly
2.08 mm off the circle. (Assuming a 60 meter radius.)

So if you have a 1 meter rib crowned to a 60 meter radius then the
midpoint of the rib should be 2.08 mm higher (or lower as the case may
be) then the end points.

   60 - 60 Sin InvCos (1/120)
= 60 - 60 Sin 89.52252964 degrees
= 60 - 59.99791663 meters
= 2.083369504E - 03 meters
= 2.08 mm
