(...) Just a bit more info to help confirm your theory- I reciently came across and bought a few sets form 1996- The sail and fly marina had a bunch of 1x1 round plates in blue, red and yellow but only the yellow ones came on the sprue. There (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Duh, yes. Sorry for the confusion. Shock absorber seems like a much better term. (...) I see. Personally, I don't like so much to put studs into axle holes, as I feel that the studs are a little bit too wide, and may thus cause wear in the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Well... There was a smiley there :) I'm talking about the Lego of my youth, which is basically the 1980's. During the (early part of) the 90's, I was busy having my Dark Ages :( Jasper (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Actually the latter is probably true. There were 1x1 rounds available since the advent of modern LEGO (1958), and they were always available in (regular) clear color. The earliest 1x1 rounds (with no recessed base like today's 1x1 rounds) had (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Hmm... Remembering back to the olden days - pre 1990 :), I seem to remember that when the headlights on small cars (which were most of my lego) switched from 1*1 trans plates to round 1*1's, this happened. I _think_ but I'm not sure, that (...) (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Extra grey but not trans red confirms my theory, I feel... The sprue increases the weight and obviates the need for a "spare".. Thanks, Steve! (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Just the other day, I received an older (from 1992) set, which had some of each. The trans-red 1x1 rounds were on a sprue, but the grey 1x1 rounds were not, and there was an extra grey part. Steve (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

Groups set to l.build as well as this is a more general topic (...) It is my belief that this formerly was common practice as the 1x1 round plate was just about the smallest part TLG made other than flowers which also came that way. I have seen this (...)

(...) Think, think, think.... A-HA! I get it. I was hung-up on your term "suspenders". You mean the large Technic springs (or as I would call them, shock absorbers). I used a 4595.dat Brick 1 x 2 x 2/3 with Studs on Sides between them so each (...) (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)
