The name of part 2637 "Technic Link 16L" is a bit problematic, because it interferes with the 3711 "Technic Link Chain" and 3873 "Technic Link Tread". Would it make sense to rename 2637 to "Technic Rod 16L"? That way, it would appear in it's own sub (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
