From your description, you were talking about
<http://guide.lugnet.com/parts/search.cgi?q=2881>.  Which suffers from
similiar name-challenges, but is a much less common part.

and this part would be "Pantograph Shoe"

But of course a much better name for this is something more like "rod double
with bent ends and 2 finger clip" or something.

I forgot to mention, please take a look at these Parts Tracker entries:

<http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/2880.dat>
<http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/2881.dat>

:)

See also the brickbay discussion groups where we are wrangling over
nomenclature as well. There is a significant faction that does not want to
use LDraw names because they are too confusing and too slow to get
corrected. I would use them even if they are confusing because consistency
is good. If Brickbay ends up with a different nomenclature (even if it's
better) that's bad.

Do you have any links to these discussions?

Steve
