tracings
Overlay-made duplicates
Tracings are copies made by following lines through a transparent overlay, or the lines themselves left by something that traces.
A child produces tracings of maps or drawings.
In medicine, tracings are the recorded output of monitoring equipment—an EKG tracing shows the heart's electrical activity as a continuous line on paper or screen.
