How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 1.22 m for the overall length of a curling broom; the recorded range is 1.15 m–1.3 m.
- The overall length of a curling broom: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
This comparison follows the selected length only; other dimensions may differ.
