Burmester stencils are special curve rulers named after the mathematician and inventor of these stencils Ludwig Burmester .

Burmester stencils are z. B. used in technical drawing for the approximately exact representation of curves and curve progressions . In practice, if several stencils or sections of a stencil have to be used, the adjoining sections are drawn in an overlapping manner in order to ensure that the curve drawn is continuous.
