But Silurian graptolites had a streamlined body plan, more like a stick than like a set of branches.
The hind feet are held tightly against the tail, and this results in a streamlined body configuration.

He talked about the streamlined body, evocative of the first 1947 Saab, and about the flying buttresses looping like ribbons over the new car.
He was a friend of Paul Jaray, an aeronautical pioneer, and pushed for Jaray's streamlined body designs whose shape resembled what is now known as the Beetle.
