Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Pipe organ console
A defined three-manual pipe-organ console 2 m wide. Organ consoles vary in manuals, stop controls and enclosure; width is measured across the complete cabinet.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined console width is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Elkhorn coral colony
A defined mature elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) colony 2 m wide and 1.2 m high. Branch growth and breakage produce irregular colonies; the basal reef substrate is excluded from both spans.
NOAA Fisheries — Elkhorn coral
The marked defined colony width is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 2 m
For comparison, this page uses defined console width. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 1.9 m to 2.1 m.
A defined three-manual pipe-organ console 2 m wide. Organ consoles vary in manuals, stop controls and enclosure; width is measured across the complete cabinet.
The marked horizontal span follows the named feature; transparent margins and unmeasured details do not alter it. How calibrated comparisons work →
