And if that's not confusing enough... I also have 2x6 plates with "Pat. Pend." removed from the mold in red, white, blue, yellow and black. Some of the plates had the "Pat. Pend." removed from within one of the circles, others at the edge of the (...) (17 years ago, 31-Aug-07, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.parts)

Wow, What's funny is that John is purchasing some old plates from me right now, so this discussion is rather Deja Vu! John, does that gray plate have Pat. Pend. on the underside?

(...) <snip> The plate 2x6 sounds very surprising to me. Maybe some brick historians can answer this question. 1.

(...) It's actually 26.57 degrees. Including the lip at the end, a roof built with those parts will have a slope of 30.96 degrees. So the Lego name probably comes from approximating the slope. The community name probably comes from erroneously using (...) (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.parts)

This piece : (URL) called a 25 degree slope, but everyone else calls it a 33 degree slope. Why the discrepancy? Is it really 33 or 25 degrees? And if it's 33 degrees, why doesn't LEGO update the product name? If it's really 25 degrees, why doesn't (...) (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.parts)
