(...) YRW :-) In a book of LEGO history I read, it was explicitely stated that the original inch based measures were changed to mm. I don't remember which year, but it was a long time ago. The distance between two studs is 8 mm. (15 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I tried the experimental approach, built a long line of 23 x Technic beams 16 assembled with plates and measure the total length: 2937mm With 8mm distance between studs, the theoretical value is 2944mm, error is -0.23% With 5/16" distance (...) (15 years ago, 26-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not at liberty to say too much, but I have actually looked at three real drawings of LEGO parts, and not even TLC seems to be sure what the dimensions should be - I've seen the distance between two studs dimensioned as 8 mm on one part and (...) (15 years ago, 26-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That much? Wow. I figured the distance between two studs should be closer to 3mm, since a LEGO tile is (in theory) 3.2mm thick, and it will sorta fit between two studs. Or were you refering to the center-to-center distance? Anyways, one thing (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Center-to-center, of course. The stud diameters differ by 0.028 between the drawings too, creating a diff of the gaps of 0.046 (but the length of the parts are exactly the same). (...) Well, the drawings are of parts, not molds (and the parts (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
