There are no drip rails in that photo. They're metal strips that anchor
down the free ends of the felt and then an inch or so along the face of the
eave with a slight flare for the last 1/2" or so to shed water away from the
eaves. They're your last defense against rain migrating into the wood.
The felt is supposed to be overlapped 50%, and in that photo it's only
overlapped for 3" or so. And there is no leader strip shown in that photo.
