There are several ways to find out part numbers. One is a parts reference
page at: http://titan.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~uhlmann/partlst.html. Another
way is the LDraw parts list, which will at least give you known part numbers
and descriptions for elements which have been created for LDraw. As a last
resort, you can send a .gif image (from a scan of the part) to Martyn
Boogaarts at mjr.boogaarts@INDAUT.FNT.HVU.NL.
Note that not all parts have know numbers (at least not know outside TLG).
Hope this helps,
