hi guys,
I think this is my first posting in /space (beside the roll-call) although I
was, I am and always will be hopelessly fallen in love with classic space.
usually I'm toying around in /cad and cad is mainly the reason for a reply
to this question (http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=10301). currently I'm
making dat-files out of these two patterned bricks and after several weeks I
spent on refineing curves and the like I came up with an answer and a question.

answer: the "L.L. 2079" at the top stands for "LegoLand (in the year) 2079"
which is 100 year into the future of the year when the 493/926 was first
released.
question: why does the brick in 6970 have the same date, although the set
was releases in 1980 - a year later?
ciao, willy
