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).

		24-tooth Technic gear confusion - Part(s) 3648, 3648a, x187
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)
