  I knew I was measuring it wrong the whole time. Clearly you need to start measuring from inside the balls.

    and remember not to count the added total created when a tape measure goes over thick veins

    Your comment brings up the age old question of how much of the total length is actually part of the action.

    It’s a French curve ruler. IIRC the original French curve was used for drawing and drafting, having multiple curves and cutouts. This was developed with the graduations and solid shape specifically for sewing.

    My research shows that it was originally invented to check the wild claims of those bragging that they were larger than they actually are

  It’s important to remember that this angulation is based on the top percentage that have this standard curvature. It will not be accurate for those outliers whose angle is higher or lower than the norm
