Formation years and history:
LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by a Danish man Mr. Ole Kirk Christiansen.
Initially, the Lego Group manufactured step-ladders, ironing boards and wooden toys. Brand “LeGO”, which later on emerged as name of the company in 1934 from the Danish word “LEG GODT”, meaning “Play Well”.
From the appearance in 1949, elements Lego, in all their versions, are compatible with each other. For example, elements, created in 1963, can be interlocked with elements, manufactured in 2006 in spite of radical changes in the design and shape of elements for all these years. Sets Lego for kids are compatible with the sets, meant for teenagers.
Production:
All the parts of Lego system are produced with a given degree of accuracy. This ensures that the parts can be interlocked with each other by using a definite force, same for all the parts. Apart from this, after interlocking, the parts should ensure sufficiently stable connection. To ensure these conditions, the elements of construction toys are produced with an accuracy of 2.
Name of the company Lego Group has become so synonymous due to their basic series of toys that even many by seeing the word Lego or Legos (Plural) imply it to the plastic bricks or even to any plastic toys, similar to construction toys Lego. However, even the company itself does not approve such generalization and catalogues of Lego, issued in 1970 -1980 years, even contained corresponding warning.
