why is it called french curve?

anyone knows why is it called french curve?

practical usage

How about a section describing their practical usage - something I have wondered about since I first saw one (about 40 years ago). In this article there is a reference to the idea of placing the FC on a surface so that it 'touches' 3 or 4 marked points - and I didn't even know that much. Even though I took a drafting course, the French Curve in our geometry sets were never needed. All lines were straight or circular - as is the case for most basic drafting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.26.79.137 (talk) 13:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

French curves are used in drafting clothing patterns, like for neck and arm holes. 24.17.203.4 (talk) 21:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
