| | | Hi, Lego Dacta #779937 contains 108 chain links. How long is the resulting chain? I'm trying to figure how many packages I'll have to order... Thanks, Stefan (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) Yes, these are Dacta item #N779937 Small Chain Links - $6.25 for 108 links. But I believe you are looking for item #N77938 Conveyor Belt Links - $6.25 for 36 links. -Wes (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
