[snipped description of the situation]

So...my question is: what's the story? And what is the proper part number
to use in the inventories to properly indicate which version of the gear
is in the set?  Thanks for any insight you might have!

*Eventually*, I'd expect there to be a 3648a and a 3648b.  That is, if the
other version is ever rendered for LDraw (assuming it hasn't already).

In LDraw, when multiple parts use the same part number (or there are
multiple versions of a part), we give the different files a one-letter
suffix: 3648a, 3648b, etc.  But that isn't always consistent, because we
often don't have all versions of a part.

For now, using just 3648 in inventories is most appropriate, with a note in
the notes column about which version is in the set.  But maybe the Peeron
admins have a different insight on that.

Note: My apologies if this crossposting is bad form or if this post really
belongs in a different forum (I'm still a bit of a newbie).

Eh, it's alright--this topic cuts across the groups.  I would have (and I
did) set a 'Follow-upTo', to direct replies to one group.

I believe that's how things are on peeron now - the only thing that has x187 is (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv)

I am really confused about the variations on the 24-tooth Technic gear which appear in quite a number of the sets I am attempting to inventory/verify. First of all there seem to be two major variations: the earlier one has three axle holes, and the (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.db.inv)
