Lastly, a handle(把手) is fitted into holes on the top of the stone. Stones are computer-matched into pairs. Sixteen stones-8 pairs-are needed for a game, and since curling game field usually have 6 lanes, each game field needs 96 matched stones!Kays is a small company, employing less than ten skilled workers.
