    Re: LEGO design patterns... you know, there's a book in that, I'm sure of it! —Allan Bedford
   (...) A link to an HTML version of Fred's original article: (URL) those who may not be familiar with it. (...) I'm wondering about the first part of your statement Larry. Unless I'm misunderstanding... isn't the 'why' so that you can share knowledge (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
   
        Re: LEGO design patterns... you know, there's a book in that, I'm sure of it! —Gordon Bentley
     One thing that I find really annoying about this kind of book/CD/website, is that it rehashes general mechanical knowledge. While there is no argument that this is important information, it isn't lego specific and is available in a million other (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) I would somewhat disagree... based on two points: 1) I don't think this type of info is that easily found. Now this is just my feeling, not really a statistic based statement. The only *decent* site I've ever found that presented a nice (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) No, you're spot on. Gears and chain drives are both viable ways of transmitting power... but the real trick is to know when each one is a good choice, It's not even enough just to say "chains are good for bikes and gears are good for cars"....

     (...) LOL actually most (all?) Harleys are belt drive. When is belt drive a better option? But I agree a compendium of such "secrets" would be a good thing. But it'd take a lot of time & effort to compile, and that's after you've taken the abstract (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

     Hello, let me reply to a number of related postings at once here ... (...)

      (...) Excellent example. Yes, it was really the organizational aspect that I was thinking of. This is partly a facet of the GUI... in how the user navigates to the data, how it is presented etc. But on second thought, it's also a data (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
