I found an application where two 1x2x5 bricks worked much better than 5
1x4 bricks. I was building a framework with Technic beams (basically
the same thing I posted to lugnet.cad.dat the other day). I was
inserting stacks of 1x4 bricks between the horizontal beams, to provide
rigidity (is that a word?). Unfortunately, I knocked in the stack of
bricks! The structure didn't collapse, but those few bricks did, and
the rigidity was gone.
Now, this problem is pretty easy to solve by making sure that my
diagonal beams cross on either side of the brick-stack, so the bricks
can't move. But it's even easier to use 5H bricks instead.

| (...) Yes. (...) I've often thought that those taller bricks would be cool to use in big structures, like some of the big skyscraper/office building types. That, IMO, neither limits creativity nor violates integrity (or purism). It only does so when (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)
