Figure 2-9 indicates dive brakes extend top and bottom of wing, while spoilers are top only.

Um, that's correct.

It's still amazing to me how long the difference between spoilers and brakes (goes back at over a half-century!) is still misunderstood by smart people, and even shows up in some older POHs (e.g., Schweizer 1-36).

Glad to see it properly described for a change.
