Now I'm thoroughly confuzzed. :) I thought Jacob said that an LDU = 1/4 LU,
which would have been in reference to the LU which means 1/5 of the inter-
stud spacing and 1/6 of a standard brick height.
So a Jessiman LDU = 1/40 of the standard LEGO SYSTEM inter-stud spacing?
Or 1/20?

| (...) Ah. We're refering to two different LU's. A Lehman LU (you brought it up in this thread first) is 1/2 plate-height. So the on-center spacing of studs can be expressed: 1 Gyugyi LU 5 Lehman LU 8 mm 10 Gyugyi dLU 20 LDU I would say the Lehman LU (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
