If he is suggesting what I think he is - that is an axle elbow which has three orthoganal connections - it can be acheived (somewhat less neat) with a 90 degree elbow, an axle pin and an axle joiner.

Since Lego plates are each a third of the height of a standard brick, then two of these would account for two thirds. I am not aware, however, of a brick half the height of the standard brick. -- (URL) - Build Robots (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Has LEGO ever produced a brick that’s two-thirds or half the height of a standard 2x4 brick? Just wondering. Dave! (21 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts, FTX)

Hey, If I could wish for a single mold, I think I'd go for a plate with studs on both sides. That would be a really helpful SNOT element. Another thing I'd like is a 1x1 plate with clip on the bottom. Essentially the inverse of this piece: (URL) (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I'll see your two plane connector and raise you one more : ) I'd love to see "corner connectors" or "tribows" that tie 3 beams on 3 mutually orthagonal planes together in a sturdy way.
