Back in the '60s when they first produced LEGO wheels (starting in 1962),
these
little milky clear pieces were used to hold train cars, or cars & trailers
together. They usually came in any set that had those wheels with gray
tires.
These pieces had such a narrow "thread" holding the two 2x2 plate type
pieces
together, that they frequently broke, or got bent. I couldn't find a
picture
of these anywhere.
