      According to Wiki, the real, physical spline was used also by the Wright brothers to shape the wings of their aircraft.

        Splines were drafting tools before they became calculation engines in CAD programs.

        This was also the origin of the expression, "Get your ducks lined up."  The weights used to keep the flexible spline where the draftsman required were called ducks.
