Okay, I've done the experiment. The interstud spacing is 7.986 millimeters +- 2 microns. I built a 1 x 100 x 2 "wall" out of long Technic beams, and it measures 798.5 +- 0.2 millimeters (to which I added 0.1 millimeters to account for the fact that (...)

(...) Thanks for the info. I don't care enough about this to look it up, though. What's important is that LEGO makes the best bricks. :-) I'm pretty much a pragmatist in this matter. Fredrik (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

A whilo ago it struck me that the base unit of LEGO probably was defined in inches not in mm. 1/16 inch is far more an obvious unit than 1.6 mm. This is an interesting fact, because it reveals the British heritage of the LEGO brick. So while TLG (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

The basic issue I'm raising is determining the engineer's standard for the "horizontal spacing" from one stud to the next. I think this is what you're calling "the pitch". The most commonly quoted dimension standard among LEGO users is this (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
