The french curve is a set of segments of Euler spirals, also known as clothoids. The curvature of a clothoid varies linearly along its length. If you start at the least curved end of one of the segments (curvature closest to zero) there will be a declining radius of curvature as you go until you reach the end of that segment. The french curve set has several segments with different rates of curvature change.

What are the algebraic equations for coordinate curve and coordinate surfaces?
There are infinitely many equations for each - and they are of different form, depending on the shape of the curve etc.
Who first designed French curve tools?
Ludwig Burmester, a German geometer, invented the Burmester curve also known as the French curve.
What is the function of a standard french curve?
french curve is used to connect arce and semi-circles, such as the neckline, armholes , and collar. it is either made of flat metal or wood.
How do you get the formula center of curvature?
This starts with the collocation circle to go through the three points on the curve. First write the equation of a circle. Then write three equations that force the collocation circle to go through the three points on the curve. Last, solve the equations for a, b, and r.
Who invented the drafting french curve?
