Well, that's simple...  a distance piece is a piece that fills in the 
distance between two other pieces.  I thought everyone knew that!  :-)

It seems to me that you might also call a distance piece a gigantic shim, or 
even a colossal washer.  I swear that there is at least one distance piece 
on the B but I can't remotely remember where it is.  Does this mean I have 
to withdraw my entry?
