Hapori Tohu Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's not a big event like the 50th anniversary of the brick or the 75th anniversary of the company, but it deserves some recognition. 55 years ago today, the patent for the stud-and-tube design was filed. It was approved a day later, thus assuring the LEGO group's right to the foundation of this community's heritage. It's pretty monumental when you think about it. Go ahead and celebrate in the talkback thread or enjoy the day by admiring the nearest 2x4 brick in all its structurally-perfect glory.http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=5938]View the full article[/url] Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swert Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Amusingly if you think about it, bricks are anything but a perfect shape, but the entire system is so well designed, everything we know about the Lego math would never have happened if we had a perfectly squared shape. I shudder to think about building large structures without a perfect system like that. Edited January 28, 2013 by Swert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 What more to say if not "Happy birthday"? But seriously, it's so amazing to think that everything started today, 55 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
