Speaking as the author of this part, I like the idea of using the word
"Bogie" in the description. But also I would like to express in the name
that you normally clip this part on the side of the train motor.

Electric Train Motor 9V Bogie Side Clip

Me being a NENS (No English Native Speaker) "without Corners" sounds more
familiar to me than "Tapered".

Maybe the solution is to tackle the problem later and rename the whole
category to "Plant" in Terry's next LMU (LDraw Maintenance Update :-)
