Usage examples
  • Enne arvutite kasutuselevõttu tehniliste jooniste koostamisel kasutasid projekteerijad käsitsi joonistades spetsiaalseid joonestusvahendeid. Kõverjoonte tõmbamiseks – eriti laevaehituses – kasutasid joonestajad sageli pikki, õhukesi ja painduvaid puidust, plastist või metallist lekaale, mida nimetati ka paindliistudeks.

Usage examples
  • Before computers spline used for creating engineering designs, drafting tools were employed by designers drawing by hand. To draw curves, especially for shipbuilding, draftsmen often used long, thin, flexible strips of wood, plastic, or metal called splines (or laths, not to be confused with lathes).
