| Here is the list of categories where I see inconsistencies related to their current
definitions. I have indicated solutions when one seemed obvious to me.
---------------------------------------------------------
Technic, Brick - For bricks similar to standard bricks that are primarily used
in Technic sets and have side holes.
Issue: definition is inaccurate
Solution: new definition:
Technic, Brick – For items recognizably bricks with side holes, without curves,
and with or without attachments or modifications.
(‘Side holes’ needs to be defined somewhere as holes that fit a standard technic
pin or axle.)
Result: parts 3709a, 3709c, 6061 are moved to Technic, Brick. parts 39789, 57909,
57910, 57908 et al. are moved to Brick, Modified. This would significantly reduce
confusion between Brick, Modified and Technic, Brick as the presence of side
holes would now define the Technic, Brick category. (Yes, there are some other
misc. parts with side holes still in Brick, Modified that need further discussion)
---------------------------------------------------------
Wedge - For items other than plates that have a narrow edge at one end and a
wider edge at the other end.
Issue: definition is vague
Solution: new definition:
Wedge - For items other than plates whose base is tapered from one edge to another
or irregular in shape.
Result: part 32739 moved to Slope. part 98281 moved to Slope, Curved. further
discussion needed for parts 93589, 50948, 47755.
---------------------------------------------------------
Wedge, Plate - For plates that have a narrow edge at one end and a wider edge
at the other end.
Issue: definition is vague. modifications should perhaps be mentioned if they
are staying in this category.
Solution: new definition:
Wedge, Plate - For items recognizably plates whose base is tapered from one edge
to another or irregular in shape, with or without modifications or attachments.
Result: I am still uncertain of parts 42607c01, 42609
