And just to make it really fun ...
I've just received some replacement parts from Billund and the delivery note
describes p/n 32009 (LDraw name "Technic Liftarm 1 x 11.5 double bent") as
"Double Angular Beam 3x7 45degree"
3 x 7????

That set description was supplied by LUGNET data admins, not by TLC.
The curly brackets indicate this.
AFAIK, the traditional TLC name for those parts with studs and pin holes
are "Technic Bricks".
But "beam" has been commonly used for some time, so things are confusing
with two types of 'beams'.
