One fascinating thing I discovered a few years ago: Lego Technic is a combination of both metric and imperial units. Hole centers are 8mm apart from each other. But hole diameters are 4.85mm, perfectly sized for a 10-32 (size based on inches) screw.
- kalleboo 10y agoWell now I spent WAY too much time reading about LEGO dimensions. http://www.robertcailliau.eu/Alphabetical/L/Lego/Dimensions/General%20Considerations/ http://www.robertcailliau.eu/Alphabetical/L/Lego/Dimensions/... Looks like Technic hole diameters are set between between letting the poles spin and having brick pegs stick.
