Hiya Jake, I know you're a very busy man, but I was hoping you might be able to give some further insight into two nagging questions that have been chasing themselves around in my head like two dogs fighting over a bone. 1. Since it's clear that the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

Thanks for the tip about stacking plate tolerances, Jake. A related effect occurs with some 1x2 bricks (first obvious to me with sand red). The crack between bricks in a wall depends on which way the 1x2 are pointing. One end of each brick is a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)
