Director -- from Wolfram MathWorld
- ️Weisstein, Eric W.
A plane parallel to two (or more) skew lines, also called a director plane. The orientation of a director is fixed, but it is specified uniquely only if a point lying on it is also specified.
A director of two skew lines is perpendicular to the line of shortest distance of these two lines (Altshiller-Court 1979, p. 1).
