Bendlet
A Bendlet is a diminutive of the bend. I use a bendlet width of 1/2 or 1/3 of the width of the bend. If the width of the bend is 1/3 of the width of the coat of arms, then the width of the bendlet is 1/6 or 1/9 of the width of the coat of arms (1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6 and 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9). The following schema shows how I draw 2 bendlets based on their bend and the theorem of Thales to split a segment into several equal parts, in this case, 4 and 3. The first bendlet has a width of 1/2 of the width of its bend and the second bendlet has a width of 1/3 of the width of its bend.
