None of those parts should really be referred to as "axle joiners" or "pin
joiners".  The only parts that should have those names are the ones that join
them end-to-end.  These parts are all what a hardware store would recognize as a
saddle joint, and I always think of them pictorally, at least for the three
3-long versions (+=o, +o+, and +oo, specifically).

With almost all the "Technic Axle Joiner" parts on the Parts Tracker, I'd like to take the opportunity to rationalise the part descriptions which have developed over time as these parts have appeared. Currently we have: 6536.dat Technic Axle Joiner (...) (17 years ago, 22-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
