I'm guessing the centered tab under the two fingers was counted as the third finger. IIRC, it functions not as most hinge "fingers" do, but stops the attached part from moving lower than horizontal. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) I've been also busy cataloging my LEGO collection. I use the master part list downloaded from Peeron as a start.

(...) I thought I remembered a more recent discussion about this, but I can't find it. What I'm seeing is that really instead of the current part 4180 there should be three composite parts: 4180c01--Brick 2 x 4 with Permanent Black Train Wheels (...)

There are a number of parts that are named according to their use in a particular set. Trouble is, LEGO would then come out with another set that uses that part in a totally different way. Consider "Loudhailer." That one took me forever to find in (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) Thanks! Now how can we get it implemented, is the big question? So now we just need to get all the various parties to the same virtual table as it were. I don't think the MLCAD and BrickLink folks read this forum, do they? --Bill. (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

This part (URL) called Hinge Boat Mast with 3 Fingers On Both Sides despite seeming to have two fingers on each side, like (URL) it misnamed, or am I missing something? TIA, -- TWS Garrison (URL) capital letters in address for direct reply. (22 years ago, 8-Mar-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

In lugnet.cad.dev, William R. Ward writes: <snip> This is a really great idea! In addition, it wouldn't be all that hard to implement into existing software. We'd still have to keep the names in the part files though, to keep backward compatability. (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

Once the numbering system is in place, we then can deal with the next sticky issue: part names. Since everyone will want their names to be the final name chosen, I would like to sidestep that issue - there should not be a final name chosen. But (...)
