about this part. It probably exists and I missed it.

- It is a member of the 2-3 finger hinge system.
- it has a 3 finger hinge at one end
- this joins a rod system sized rod which is parallel to the hinge fingers
(Not bent 90 like the train catenary holder (what a terrible name for a part
as i have said before, I thought we were changing it))
- the rod has 6 circumfurential grooves midway up
- the rod goes about 1.5 studs long then terminates in a hollowhead stud which
is in the plane perpendicular to the rod direction.
- if it has a number I could not find (or see, it would have to be pretty
small) it.

I have seen this part in black (fairly common) and red (fairly rare)...

I use it in my PCC model to hold the trolley poles (the LDrawn version I did
uses the train catenary holder with the pole smushed down into it,
intersecting the solid, to make it look like it's this part... sort of)

I looked under hinge and rod but couldn't spot it. that doesn't mean I'm not
blind.

Larry,  its 2433 and under Lever? Kind of wacky I think.  Here is a link to
confirm for you.

Hope that helps,

(...) nor a control, IMNSHO. My point stands, we need better characterisation, better ways to find parts, less reliance on memorization of quirky names and , for goodness sake, less need for memorization of part numbers! ++Lar (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
