It seems to me this part is impossible to build of other parts unless you
add one layer of plate?

I agree with Anders, what parts were you thinking about that
were 'juniorized' to make this part.

I don't have that part, and I just looked at it in Peeron.  I didn't see the
hole in the middle the first time.  My bad.


My vote for 'first juniorization' would be
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x1042b 'Brick 4 x 2 Round Half Circle with Stud
Notches'. It could easily be replaced by two quarter circle ones :-)

Or http://peeron.com/inv/parts/712 'Wing 4 x 8 Curved Left' ? It could have
been built by one ordinary 4x4 and one 4x4 with rounded corner, thereby
eliminating the need for 713 (the right counterpart).

Slight problem here Anders, the 4x4 with rounded corner
didn't exist until 40 years after the Wing 4x8
Wow 40 years, that's a really long time.

I just found out from Phil Traviss that in Britain they made a few of these 4x8
curved plates with the missing notch of plastic (like all recent curved plates).
These were made circa 1965 near the end of production of these plates.  These
were NOT produced in continental Europe or USA/Canada. A NEW (OLD) PART!!!!
