I don't have _any_ of these older sets. :-/
But, in checking the samples of 2853 I have (20+ free/not in models), all but
one have the rectangular slot.
I *might* have surmised from that that the rectangular slot variant is likely
the newer type. BUT....
In looking at the "Mag Wheel Master" motorcycle, I see that both of the 2853's
in the engine are of the circle-hole variety.
So: Circle=new Rectangle=old.
So the piece in the current vote is of the new type - 2853b.dat

| (...) I'm not sure if I agree with that. Looking at the 8251, a 1999 set, it looks like it has a rectangular slot: (URL) then again, I haven't got the 8251, so it may very well be that the parts included have the circular hole. I dunno. Fredrik (25 years ago, 31-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
