Comments from Submitter:
I measured the black string to be 75cm (from 2 new sets with no bin). However, I am only seeing 1 string in each set. I bought these 2nd hand and the 1x16 tech bricks were not polybagged, nor were the long electric cables. I suppose it's possible those parts were polybagged with a string, but since I am only seeing 1 string, I'm only requesting a delete/add for 1 string. I'll attach a pic of the polybag the string came in. Thanks!

Did some more digging. Inventory card shows 1 string:

I also found the photo of another cardboard that only shows one string. So I
will accept this change.
It's strange that the old request never fixed the quantity of the strings.
Any chance that the second string was an extra?
|
Each of the 2 sets I bought only had 1 in the polybag. Seems unlikely they would
have been bagged separately.

Large parts are known to come without being polybagged in some sets, especially
in the 90's. So I think these were never packaged in this set.

I don't know what the practice is (or was at the time) but it seems reasonable
that there would be 1 cord per polybag so they could be grabbed and inserted
into the set more easily, whether by a human being or a robot. This would also
prevent their getting tangled in the bag. Imagine trying to pick up exactly two
cords from a bunch that aren't bagged.
