Are these plates or bricks? My experience indicates that a stud is
slightly taller than half the width of a plate. Hence, a double
female connector has to be taller than a plate, I believe.
To verify my experience above, try to put a plate sideways down
between two studs. Where the stud from the plate and the other one
meet, they "collide" before the plate makes it all the way down.

The problem with the half beams is that they are slightly taller than
a plate. They also have rounded ends. Hence, they are hard to
incorporate in a wall, say.

| (...) True, but Tyco plates are half brick height, so there is room for the studs. If it were done by Lego, they would probably want to make the double-female connector be two plates in thickness. /Eric McC/ (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
