Like this? ROSCO I prefer this one: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=11162 the other one shows me. I prefer to show just my work. I can add to the discussion about the ‘oldest Technic piece still in production’: The axles. Assuming you aren’t counting the ‘improved versions’ of the ‘pre-Technic’ U-joint: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=9244a or bushing: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=bushpw1 that are being made today. The first ‘Technic’ brick (other than the 2x4 shown earlier) was hidden in a couple models (holding the milky white axles): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3700b But, it was never released into a ‘Technic’ set. Of course, that reminds me of this piece (that was on the ends of those milky-white axles) which is pretty much unchanged from 30 years ago: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3482 My reference for the axle, bushing, brick, wheel (and tire) was one of my earliest sets: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/491_1 Wayne Hussey Subject:  Re: oldest lego technic piece Newsgroups:  lugnet.technic Date:  Sat, 26 Mar 2005 18:32:49 GMT Viewed:  6660 times    In lugnet.technic, Ross Crawford wrote:    In lugnet.technic, Ralph Hempel wrote:    I’m probably going to get shot for this, but I think ZNAP was ahead of its time, and that it might be resurrected as a building system for bigger creations.... Well said.. ZNAP scales up much easier than traditional LEGO System. The connectors are stronger for larger items (and bruised fingers trying to get them apart sometimes).    Like this? ROSCO Nice work Ross !

Nice work Ross ! Well, it may have been my work finding it, but the MOC itself is not. As Wayne has said, it is HIS work, my collection of znap would make a bridge about as long as a muon’s lifetime... ROSCO
