Hi, could anybody explain these? For example 44237 is valid mold number for 'new' Brick 2 x 6. I don't know what are differences to 2456 and I don't care much. For inventory purposes the number 44237 is important, I think. So why '~Use' - why it (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hello, all. I'd hoped to get this out before leaving on christmas vacation -- I'll be back in front of a computer on Wensday (CET). This is an update for 71427c01, to get rid of the depreciated box3#8p, and BFC. (It also fixes minor things that (...) (20 years ago, 25-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Hello, everyone. When I was working on 71427 (expect a post on l.c.d.parts soon), I noticed that the two small underside studs were modeled with a pair of cyli4-4s and a disk1. When looking for the proper primitive to replace that with, I noticed (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, FTX)
