I've noticed this several times during my Lego career, but while browsing my stash of 2x4 bricks I noticed it again and thought I'd ask. The tubes on some of my older bricks have slots in them. I seem to recall realizing this years ago, thinking at (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

You can look at the work done by Bert van Dam at (URL) the "DOS" section. (...) ___...___ Marco (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
