Thanks, Adrian! Those parts are Belville bucket handles. I had seen the part
used on the models in The Ultimate LEGO Book, but I didn't know what they were.
Then I saw them at Rich Schamus's house, where I stayed for Brickfest 2000.
Later, I got a bunch in a trade, and have been waiting to use them ever since.
It was quite a pain to get them so close together...they alternate horizontal
and vertical orientations every half stud. I still don't know how LEGO's
designers accomplished a similar idea on their Buick Roadmaster...glue maybe?
