Reference: directrix, directrices ?

Reference information:
The geometrical term corresponding to направляющая is 'directrix', plural 'directrices'. I was unsure whether the term is used here in its strict geometrical sense, but I'll send you this link for what it's worth:

file:///C:/Users/home/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe/TempState/Downloads/vizualizatsiya-obrazovaniya-zontichnyh-poverhnostey-i-poverhnostey-zontichnogo-tipa-s-radialnymi-volnami-zatuhayuschimi-v-%20(5).pdf

The key words 'образующая линия' and 'направляющая линия' seem to correspond to the following key words given in English at the end: 'generatrix line', 'directrix line'.

In the light of Anna Grigoryeva's reference, perhaps 'directrix line' or simply 'directrix' is the relevant term.
