| (...) Ooo, yuck (that's a name-wise yuck). 32311: I'm not sure if there's a standard mechanical term for arms with fixed gears. If there is, that'd be the way to go. Otherwise, "Beam (size) Offset with End Gears" would work. 32324: Uhh, Technic (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

| I'm glad to see some good part name thinking has come up. (...) Your term "Open Center" and the reversed order is much better than my suggestion was. I agree with this name. (...) Of course, can't do without the size. Agree. (...) [snip] (...) (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
