About LEGO
The LEGO brick in its current form was patented in 1958, and bricks made then still interlock with those made today. That backward compatibility is a deliberate engineering constraint and is central to why the system has lasted. The company manufactures to a tolerance of a few thousandths of a millimetre so that clutch power stays consistent.
