   [1913 Webster]

   {Complex of lines} (Geom.), all the possible straight lines
      in space being considered, the entire system of lines
      which satisfy a single relation constitute a complex; as,
      all the lines which meet a given curve make up a complex.
      The lines which satisfy two relations constitute a
      congruency of lines; as, the entire system of lines, each
      one of which meets two given surfaces, is a congruency.
