The element Tom refers to is NOT available in Yellow, not even in 6444
Outback Airstrip.
It's double sloped (two opposite sides), 1 brick in height, and has a
5-finger hinge connection (female). They've been somewhat common in
white and blue, and rare in black, grey, and red (one set each, TMK).
Non-existant so far in yellow.
Originally released in 1985, they were used for the top sections of
airplanes, so they could hinge open for access to seats inside.
'86-'87 saw them used for a horse trailer and a camper.
'88, a return to use in an airplane.
Space System used them in 1989 for the Space Police sets, providing top
hinges for the Space Lock-Up Isolation
blah-blah-add-some-trademark-symbols jail-cells.
'90 had a bunch more in different airport sets.
'92, the recycle set had the only use that I know of in red.
'94, the airport set had them in white for the jetliner.
'95, a blue copy in 5541 Blue Fury, and grey copies for the 6544 Shuttle
Transcon 2 set (again, an airplane).
In 1996, 6190 Shark's Crystal Cave has the only black I know of.
