Technical drawing
The concept is taken from a Spanish secondary education technical drawing text book. The chapter is entitled:
TANGENCIAS BÁSICAS
The section is:
Análisis y trazado de ***enlaces*** o uniones de líneas
And is defined as:
Un ****enlace**** es la unión armónica de dos rectas o de dos arcos entre sí realizada de modo que exista una sucesión o continuidad entre ambas, de la cual resulte una línea continua.
I dont feel "links or joints" is correct.
Many thanks!

: This is not my subject, but it says "de dos rectas o de dos arcos". Doesn't it just mean they're joined together to form a continuous curve or straight line?//Yes, that's what I'm saying. But "curve" can't be right.

No. It is to form a continuous path without abrupt changes, such as in road & railroad construction.

link(tangencies)
A link is the harmonious union point of curves with straight or curved corners. Links are the practical application of tangents.

: Maybe, but these are both translations. "The harmonious union point of curves with straight or curved corners" doesn't make any sense to me.

Please, take a look at the first reference and read carefully. Thanks for commenting it. Additionally, in the context supplied there is a Spanish translation which says the same phrasing you are having trouble with.

Definition
A transition curve differs from a circular curve in that its radius is always changing. As one would expect, such curves involve more complex formulae than the curves with a constant radius and their design is more complex.
