After doing a bunch of sorting for/with Janey, I saw some boring non-technic part. Just some 2 x 2 round brick with ridges. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=92947 After some thinking.

		Re: new gear? - Column Gear
(...) Note that the studs are not fluted like the rest of the round brick, and even though they are not fully round on the outer surfaces, they _do_ stick out past the fluting below them. This means that, while you may be right that this could be (...) (13 years ago, 3-Jun-11, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
