I've been informed that there is an alternate (earlier, it seems) version of

is the two little "lugs" at the sides near the bottom of the piece.  My
question is, is this enough of a difference to justify a second version of the
dat?  I don't think it is, but if other people want it, I'll make it.  If it is
necessary, how should they be named?

I wasn't aware of the variation, could you be a little more specific
about the differences between the elements?

It's probably not *necessary* to make the variation, but it's certainly
allowable.  Generally, we aim to model 'functional variations'.

If you do make both variations, one would be named 2538a.dat and the
other would be 2538b.dat.  Unless someone tells us that there's a
different number for the variation, in which case 2538.dat would stay as
it is.

Let me know if you need 2538.dat moved to 2538a.dat!

Steve, I believe this is a 'functional variation'. The tabs are used to correctly orient this part on the base when you make a short mast. Here's a pic: (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
