ATLAS LEGO model – Construction manual – Structural components

The structural components include everything within the barrel part that does not represent an actual detector component. This covers the two rows of feet as well as the frame(s) that carry the toroid magnets and the muon detectors and keep the inner part centred.

The two rows of supporting feet are identical to each other and each made of 229 pieces.
