Do any of you oldtimers remember exactly when the bases of the various
tile parts changed, to have the groove/indent around the edge?  Were all
the tiles changed at once, or did it take a while for everything to get
into the groove?

Awhile ago, Kevin Bane went to the trouble of making new LDraw files for
the grooved tiles (current LDraw tiles are grooveless).  It would be
nice (very nice!) to be able to sort the different patterned tile parts
out, and put some groove into the newer tiles.

If anyone has specific examples of patterned tiles in either grooved or
grooveless style, it would be good to know about that as well.

I'll post a list of the tiled parts in a bit.

Any information or insight on this topic would be ... groovy.

The only decorated tile without a finger groove that I know of is the 2x2 with
a large black disk (3068P17). This came from the Homemaker set 263 dated 1974.
I've no idea whether this _also_ exists with a finger groove.
