Very interesting indeed....where can one find this type of info (other than
being there at the time)?
An interesting feature of the London Bus blueprints was a reference to "New
Lego Slimbricks" (plates I presume). In the Ultimate Lego Book time line,
the first "1/3 brick" (plate ?) is dated as 1962. If this is the same
element, is seems odd that they were still being described as "new" 3 years
later in 1965. Any thoughts?
Cheers
