Was Jake talking about the tolerances of the actual mould whereas the Lego
facts are refering to the bricks themselves. The moulds would need to be
much more accurate than the bricks that came out of them.

Dunno, just a thought

from LEGO's own publications:

LEGO `FACTS AND FIGURES'
=======================

<snip>.

     * 5 thousandths of a mm is the tolerance of accuracy at the LEGO
mould factories.

     * <snip>.

This doesn't line up with what Jake said about plate height tolerance last • June:

<http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=2139>

He said it was 3.2mm +/-0.1mm, twenty times the tolerance quoted above.

What publication was the 0.005mm tolerance taken from - can the relevant • part of
it be scanned and posted online?

I have assurances here and claims of fact there but, in the light of this
discrepancy, I'd like to see the printed facts.
