"Elevation" is the increase or decrease of height a roller coaster car gains
by rolling up or down a ramp, right?

Then the elevation of these parts is 3 respectively 6 bricks. Not 3 1/3 respectively
6 1/3 bricks.

The higher ramps are exactly many times higher than the small ramp. One big ramp
consisting of parts 26560 and 26559 has the same elevation than four 34738 ramps.

With the elevation specified in the name of the parts, this would not fit:
2 x 6 1/3 = 12 2/3
4 x 3 1/3 = 13 1/3

The correct elevation is:
2 x 6 = 12
4 x 3 = 12

Kind regards,

Matthias

Probably needs straightening out. For the ones that I submitted to the catalog,
I provided the height of the piece, which would always be 1/3 higher than the
distance that the roller coaster would fall.
