1. An electrical conductor. For distances larger
than a breadbox, a single line may consist of two electrical
conductors in twisted, parallel, or concentric arrangement
used to transport one logical signal.

By extension, a (usually physical) medium such as an {optical
fibre} which carries a signal.

LINE, descents. The series of persons who have descended from a common
ancestor, placed one under the other, in the order of their birth. It
connects successively all the relations by blood to each other. Vide

2. The line is either direct or collateral. The direct line is composed
of all the persons who are descended from each other. If, in the direct
line, any one person is assumed the propositus, in order to count from him
upwards and downwards, the line will be divided into two parts, the
ascending and descending lines. The ascending line is that, which counting
from the propositus, ascends to his ancestors, to his father, grandfather,
great-grandfather, &c. The descending line, is that which, counting from the
same person, descends to his children, grandchildren, great-grand-children,
&c. The preceding table is an example.
3. The collateral line considered by itself, and in relation to the
common ancestor, is a direct line; it becomes collateral when placed along
side of another line below the common ancestor, in whom both lines unite for
example:

Common ancestor.

4. These two lines are independent of each other; they have no
connexion, except by their union in the person of the common ancestor. This
reunion is what forms the relation among the persons composing the two
lines.
5. A line is also paternal or maternal. In the examination of a
person's ascending line, the line ascends first to his father, next to his
paternal grandfather, his paternal great-grandfather, &c. so on from father
to father; this is called the paternal line. Another line will be found to
ascend from the same person to his mother, his maternal grandmother, and so
from mother to mother; this is the maternal line. These lines, however, do
not take in all the ascendants, there are many others who must be imagined.
The number of ascendants is double at each degree, as is shown by the
following table:
