Definition from
American University of Beirut:
A small representation of a picture on a Web page, usually containing a hyperlink to a full-size version of the graphic. Thumbnails are used to load pages rich in graphics or pictures more quickly in a Web browser.
Example sentences:
Thumbnails can be created in any existing folder or a new folder, and you can identify them clearly by adding a prefix or suffix to their filename. (Easy Thumbnails)
Suppose you want to have a bunch of thumbnail images that link to larger versions of the images - a fairly common type of web page. (REAL WORKD STYLE)
Ideally, you would want your thumbnail images to be considerably smaller than your main images. If your images are too large, it defeats the purpose of having a quick-loading preview of all the images. (kIRUPA.COM)

缩略图 【thumbnail】<br />发音 ： suo lue tu<br /><br />为了一览表示多数画像的缩小画像。本来是「大拇指(thumb)的指甲(nail)」的意义。很多图象编辑软件都具有缩略图制作功能，在选择从软盘读取画像的时候会表示。由于图像文件增多时，仅仅靠名字难以辨别，大致可以知道图案的缩略图的存在很方便。同时，互联网线路速度慢时表示画像需要花费很多时间，可以用小文件的缩略图大体地掌握大文件的图象之后，再判断是否使用原来的大小表示文件。再者，多是单击缩略图后表示本来大小的画像。
Example sentences:
Thumbnail Sizer: Vista 缩略图随意调 Thumbnail Sizer 是一个调整 Vista 任务栏缩略图的小软件。功能单一却非常实用。 Vista 有很多毛病，但是它还是有很多优秀的地方。全新的 Aero 用户界面给我们带来视觉冲击的同时，也带来了不少方便。其中，任务栏上鼠标滑过时显示窗口缩略图就是一个非常实用的功能，它大大减少了我们不必要的窗口切换，提高工作效率。 (istef)
My Pictures（我的图片）提供了两种缩略图显示效果，即Thumbnails（缩略图）和Filmstrip（幻灯片）。在Thumbnails（缩略图）视图下，某一文件夹内的所有相片以按缩略图尺寸按行列顺序显示出来。而在Filmstrip（幻灯片）视图下，若干缩略图则将被呈现在某一预览效果下方。 (Microsoft)
Note from asker:
| We could try guessing what this is about, but it would be quicker if you told us :-) Prefabricated buildings? Roofing? |
| 'spined could make some sense, in the sense of a 'spinal column' — note the dimenion of this part: 60 mm (probably deep) × 300 mm (long?) — sounds like it would have quite a lot of rigidity in the plane of its depth, so some kind of reinforcing element / cross-member could make sense. |
| This is a conversion of barracks into a hotel/student accommodation. I suppose an old brick building. More context: b) type de façade pour le bâtiment en extension ; L’ensemble est réalisé par assemblage de profils en aluminium thermolaqué ou anodisé de chez Schüco (ou équivalent) à rupture de pont thermique, fixé mécaniquement au support maçonné après réglage des aplombs et alignements. Il sera auparavant réalisé un relevé de géomètre du support afin que le positionnement soit parfait. |
| OK, that does help quite a bit then! It seems as if the notion of 'spinal column' might work then: possibly some kind of vertical members? Though 300 mm seems rather short... |
| I think it's spines in the sense of spikes sticking out to reinforce the structure rather than a spinal column, hence the short length. |
