(...) There is still a 'primitives committee' which discusses new primitives before they are released. We decided awhile ago to not introduce new primitive files, until/unless they were actually used in a file. Which is why the ldraw/p/ directory (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Coz they didn't? The nut is a unique part, as far as I can tell. It is round, and ribbed on the outside (ribs parallel to the axle), and I've never seen a part that could be machined down to make it. (well, not easily, you could probably (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Chris, you seem to by the "torso guy" around here, so if you have a good plan for those pieces, then go for it. And on another note, it has come to my attention that 9326 is NOT the torso number. I really hate to say this, but we need to move (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Ok, I've made significant progress on this part (Thanks John! Thanks Steve!). In the process, I have made 3 "new" primitives (actually modifications of existing ones): 1-4con1 1-4ring3 1-4ring10 These were necessary to maintain the geometry, though (...)
