Part 4066 is a Duplo 1x2x2 brick. I'm wondering primarily about naming conventions. This part comes in two versions. The newer version allows a Duplo top-center stud to bind in the center, and the old one doesn't (it has a supporting structure in (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Steve, I believe that I may have used the wrong part number for a couple of my files on the Parts Tracker. I'm specifically referring to the two patterned files I made for the 1x4 click-hinge brick: 30388p01 and 30388p02. I believe these should be (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
