If you put a technic brick on top instead of a plate, you have two studs
in a vertical orientation exactly the right distance apart to place a 2 x
1 plate *vertically*. I can't think of any other way to have the same
distance betwwn verical studs.
With the brick on its side with the bottom sticking out, you have a hole,
and it's only two plates thick, so it can be held in place with two
plates firmly while not wasting tons of room.

it's a lot of fun to play with a bunch of these together, especially
because the recess is exactly the same depth as the thickness of the bit
underneath the recess. Place one upright, and attach another sideways
and upside down to it. Add a plate upside down to the bottom and you've
changed stud direction in a
1 x 2 space.
