Engineering:Shroud lines
From HandWiki
Short description: Thin cords or wires
In parachuting, the term shroud lines is an old name for suspension lines. Such lines are thin cords which attach the canopy to the risers.[1]
On sailboats, shrouds are used as standing rigging to keep a mast vertical.[2]
On biplanes and triplanes, shrouds are used as the thin wire bracing between the wings.[3]
