Most of them have a comment indicating that they are for lsynth. Willy says a
few of the parts to do not. I'll update them.

LS10.dat is not an electrical connector. Instead it is a small cross section of
the electrical cable that is used to synthesize the whole electrical cable
leading from 5306 to 5306. The issue with 5306 is that it has a rectangular
cable stub coming off of it, and my wire cross section is made of two abbutting
cylinders (this looks more like the real thing).
I'd like to have the rectangular cable stubs removed from 5603, 880 and 886 (I
think these are the light and rotation sensors). To my knowlege the rectangular
electrical cable stubs are not compatable with anything, so I don't think there
is harm in removing them.
I'd love to have complete electrical cable, rotation sensor and light sensors as
part of the official library, then LPub can use them in its part list images.
Do you have recommended official name for LS10.dat? I always assumed the
current names are temporary.

That is fine.... I'd like to have an offical complete pneumatic hose for part
list images here too.
Suggestions for names?

OK.

OK. I'll work on that.
