Gondola
[edit]What's this gondola thing that Colleen Jones mentioned [1] was used to place hog line officials way above ice level in 1982-1985? I don't even know what the word means in this context. Are there any photos/videos to show this setup? -- CurlingClips (talk) 21:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Technical specs
[edit]I'm not sure if we can incorporate this into the article, but it would be nice to confirm that the sensor handles uses capacitive sensing, mercury switch, magnetometer, etc. Right now I'm not even sure what type of battery they're using. Manual [2] says Manganese dioxide lithium. Data Sheet [3] says Carbon monofluoride lithium. -- CurlingClips (talk) 00:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Disabled
[edit]WCF has disabled the electronic handles on many events in 2021-2022, relying on honor system instead.
