Mike, Once again, great job. These rock !
I "ldrew" a version of your original 8x16 NBA Container with holes in
the sides like my TEU's.

It seems perfect for a container standard for all the reasons you
mention. Using the 8x8 and the end adapters to make up an 8x16 that can
adapt to X's and L's is sweet.
Can I suggest some naming conventions ?
I'd call the 8x8 "core" a Half NBA TEU and the 4x8x5 adapters would be
1/4 TEUs
The one that uses 8x16 parts could be an NBA TEU Type 1
The 8x16 built from the 8x8 and the adapters would be an NBA TEU Type 2
I'll have some more ldraw files soon : )

| The only problem I encountered with the containers is the shortage of connection points when using the NBA\Soccer 8x16 plate as the base for a container. There is no connection for the bottom of 1x4x5 cutout on the side. For the 8x8 version I (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)
