Definitely studs, as even french people use, not mainly but only, this term.
|
|
IMHO, studs make sense more than knobs because of terms such studless or
SNOT....knobs will lead to knobless and KNOT.
|
I *think* that knobs may be more common in the U.K. but I could be very
wrong. It would be interesting to hear from someone who uses the term (if
anyone) and know where they are. I know at least one reference to it, and it
was one made by the LEGO company
here. And now that I look at that page again, they also refer to the
washing machine brick and mention that tiles are also called smoothies.
Anyone know who uses that label?
|
In french, tiles are named plaques lisses (smooth plates)...but even more
commonly tiles.
|
|
|
Are they offset or jumper plates?
|
AZMEP plates :)
|
O.K. you cant just tell us a name like that and not explain what it means.
:) Im very interested in knowing the background of that term.
|
Sorry. This term is a german acronym. It deals with all offset technique
building. As an offset plate, the jumper plate is called AZMEP plate (at least
by me).
You can learn more here :
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=680666
and here : http://www.holgermatthes.de/bricks_us/offset.htm
You notice that jumper plate is also called center plate. Thats maybe the
part which has the higher number of different name.

|
Are they headlight or washing machine bricks?
|
Erling bricks :)
|
Ditto to what I said above. Id love to know what this means or translates
to.
|
Erling Thue Dideriksen is (was ?) a LEGO employee.

If you are a lugnet.parts fan, you should also read lugnet.build.schleim ;-)
(schleim is german for snot and, then, for SNOT. - Discussions on other building
techniques such SNIR or AZMEP are welcomed there)
|
|
A very good group IMHO. For instance, there are a lot of place talking about
new sets....but Ive not been able to see a place talking about new parts,
which is of higher interest for MOCers.
|
Actually, now that I think of it, I guess this discussion should at least
partly belong in this group:
http://news.lugnet.com/db/brictionary/
Sadly that group gets even less traffic than LUGNET.parts. :(
Regards,
Allan B.
