I just noticed that there are two versions of the technic angle

32015.DAT     Technic Angle Connector #5
925.DAT       Technic Angle Connector #5 120 Deg.

These have different angles, so I wonder: Which one is correct, and what
is the correct angle?

Drawing upon my hazy memories, I seem to remember that Lutz's first
version of the 925 had the wrong angle.  But he fixed & re-released it
(I think).  Also, thinking about the what the correct angles should be
for all the angle connectors, they are evenly-angled going from
90-degrees to 180-degrees, with 5 possible angles. I know this because
they duplicate the possible positions from the older toothed angle
connectors, LDraw part #4273.  So the correct angles should be:

90
112.5
135
157.5
180

Which means that the part with the 120-degree angle must be incorrect.

The question of angle accuracy is why I dropped that from the
description.  I figured the pieces are clearly marked, so that was all
that's needed.

(...) True, but when you stack pieces on top of each other, you really need to know the angle, to be able to rotate the next pieces correctly. But then again, the 571.DAT Technic Liftarm 1 x 9 Bent Hasn't got the angle in the description, either. (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-98, to lugnet.cad)
