---Today's Brick---

Size: 4 wide, 2 deep, 2 2/3 high

This piece can be used to add a little bit of decoration to your models. It doesn't look like much - just an odd brick with 8 little holes and a larger one in the center.

This is a rear view, where we see that only the large hole goes all the way through the piece. Now, if we hook up a Lego battery box to this piece, look what happens:
It glows! That's right, this piece has a light inside it. And if we add a couple more pieces - a motor, an axle through the center hole, and several clear plastic fibers, look at what we get:


A nice decorative light effect. This brick has been used in several Lego system and Technic sets. I got one of my fiber optic bricks from the Interstellar Starfighter, and another from the Fiber Optic Multi Set. I don't use them much anymore, but they're still good pieces.
