      Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,

      Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly

               construction or solution is geometrical which can be
               made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right
               lines and circles. Every construction or solution which
               requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or
               circle as would generate any other curve, is not
               geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a
               geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of
               geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact;
               while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial,
               by actual measurements, with instruments, etc., and is
               only approximate and empirical.

      space is the space contained between a cycloid and its base.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Geometric \Ge`o*met"ric\, Geometrical \Ge`o*met"ric*al\, a. [L.
      geometricus; Gr. [?]: cf. F. g[82]om[82]trique.]
      Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,
      geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical solution
      of a problem.
  
      Note: Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to
               include processes or solutions in which the
               propositions or principles of geometry are made use of
               rather than those of algebra.
  
      Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly
               technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a
               construction or solution is geometrical which can be
               made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right
               lines and circles. Every construction or solution which
               requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or
               circle as would generate any other curve, is not
               geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a
               geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of
               geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact;
               while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial,
               by actual measurements, with instruments, etc., and is
               only approximate and empirical.
  
      {Geometrical curve}. Same as {Algebraic curve}; -- so called
            because their different points may be constructed by the
            operations of elementary geometry.
  
      {Geometric lathe}, an instrument for engraving bank notes,
            etc., with complicated patterns of interlacing lines; --
            called also {cycloidal engine}.
  
      {Geometrical pace}, a measure of five feet.
  
      {Geometric pen}, an instrument for drawing geometric curves,
            in which the movements of a pen or pencil attached to a
            revolving arm of adjustable length may be indefinitely
            varied by changing the toothed wheels which give motion to
            the arm.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   chiclet keyboard n.   A keyboard with a small, flat rectangular
   or lozenge-shaped rubber or plastic keys that look like pieces of
   chewing gum.   (Chiclets is the brand name of a variety of chewing
   gum that does in fact resemble the keys of chiclet keyboards.)   Used
   esp. to describe the original IBM PCjr keyboard.   Vendors
   unanimously liked these because they were cheap, and a lot of early
   portable and laptop products got launched using them.   Customers
   rejected the idea with almost equal unanimity, and chiclets are not
   often seen on anything larger than a digital watch any more.

   is temporarily not working, leaving fewer cycles to go around.   "The
   {high moby} is {down}, so we're running with only half the usual
