Usually an extra one of these is included because one of the quality controls on the sets is the weight of each parts bag. I assume the smallest pieces are too (...)

Another opportunity of course is if any foreign material or scrap gets into a bag or on the scale. Of course this (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
