Jo blocks (Johansson gauges, gauge blocks) are, in KSP, a concept rather than a mod or set of physical parts. Real Jo blocks are small rectangular precision-machined parts that are stacked together or wrung to make up arbitrary lengths. Ingame, every instance of each part is precisely as long as every other instance; but it is not always immediately clear what that length is.
Definitions
- Length
- Distance between stack nodes, irrespective of model rendering. Inapplicable to surface attachment.
- One meter
- Defined here as the length of one instance of Taliar's (Standard) Cubic Truss (1m) as of 2014 Jly 01.
- Wringing
- Stacking a number of parts without possibility of surface attachment using Editor Extensions to disable.
