http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2413

There are, however, times when that is not possible---for example,
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30236
and
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2540
are undoubtedly similar parts, but the former is also clearly a brick,
while the latter is equally clearly a plate.
