As late as the early 20th century, manufacturing often involved filing parts to precise shape and size.

In geometry, Barbier's theorem states that every curve of constant width has perimeter π times its width, regardless of its precise shape.

Though a last is made approximately in the shape of a human foot, the precise shape is tailored to the kind of footwear being made.

He concludes that some changes can be made in the current orthography which will appreciably improve its usefulness, but hesitates to suggest precise graphic devices to effect these changes.

The function ƒ ( x ) may or may not be defined at a, and its precise value at the point x = a does not affect the asymptote.

These directives implied precise emphasis on: the search for political coordination with emerging and developing countries, namely India, South Africa, Russia and China ; creation of the Union of South American Nations and its derivative bodies, such as the South American Security Council ; strengthening of Mercosul ; projection at the Doha Round and WTO ; maintenance of relations with developed countries, including the United States ; undertaking and narrowing of relations with African countries ; campaign for the reform of the United Nations Security Council and for a permanent seat for Brazil ; and defense of social objectives allowing for a greater equilibrium between the States and populations.

There is no precise definition for the term " Chicagoland ," but it generally means the city and its suburbs combined together.

The stories locate it somewhere in Britain and sometimes associate it with real cities, though more usually its precise location is not revealed.

Modern versions typically retain Camelot's lack of precise location and its status as a symbol of the Arthurian world, though they typically transform the castle itself into romantically lavish visions of a High Middle Ages palace.

The precise ordering of molecules in silk is critical to its renowned strength.

Each program that recognizes pointing device gestures does so in its own way, sometimes allowing for very short mouse movement distances to be recognized as gestures, and sometimes requiring very precise emulation of a certain movement pattern ( e. g. circle ).

A significant difference is that a programming language can be fully described and studied in its entirety, since it has a precise and finite definition.

Ethnologists often avoid the term " pagan ," with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism.

Because fossils identifiable as P. sternbergi are found exclusively in the lower layers of the Niobrara Formation, and P. longiceps fossils exclusively in the upper layers, a fossil lacking the skull can be identified based on its position in the geologic column ( though for many early fossil finds, precise data about its location was not recorded, rendering many fossils unidentifiable ).

The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it is a harmonic oscillator ; it swings back and forth in a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates.

From its invention in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world's most precise timekeeper, accounting for its widespread use.
