Automatic Binding Bricks were developed by the Lego Group in 1949
“With the cooperation of a tooling works in Copenhagen, we modified the design of the Kiddicraft brick, and moulds were made. The modifications in relation to the Kiddicraft bricks included straightening round corners and converting inches to cm and mm, which altered the size of the brick by approx. 0.1 mm in relation to the Kiddicraft brick. The studs on the bricks were also flattened on top.” (The Lego Group. Developing a Product Leaflet. Billund: The Lego Group, 1997. pp 2–3)
The Lego Group purchased all of the residual rights to the Kiddicraft block in 1981
The first Automatic Binding Brick sets were known as Gaveæske (Gift Sets). In 1949 at least 4 different sets were released: 700/12, 700/13, 700/14 and 700/15 (listed in descending size)
Automatic Binding Brick.
The Automatic Binding Bricks eventually evolved into the LEGO Mursten in 1953.
