    [5] A main vertical stroke is a stem. The letter m has three, the left, middle, and right stems. The central stroke of an s is known as the spine. [6] When the stroke is part of a lowercase [4] and rises above the height of an x (the x height), it is known as an ascender. [7] Letters with ascenders are b d f h k l.

  7. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    The vertical alignment (or profile in North America, but not to be confused with rail profile) is the surface uniformity in the vertical plane. The measurement of uniformity is done using a predefined length of string line (normally the same length used in horizontal alignment) along the track.

Cross gabled: The result of joining two or more gabled roof sections together, forming a T or L shape for the simplest forms, or any number of more complex shapes.

  9. Capsule (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_(geometry)

    A capsule can be equivalently described as the Minkowski sum of a ball of radius with a line segment of length . [5] By this description, capsules can be straightforwardly generalized as Minkowski sums of a ball with a polyhedron. The resulting shape is called a spheropolyhedron. [7] [8]
