I just tried to send this reply directly to

pavogel@pacbell.net

and my message is returned as undeliverable. Is this
some kind of "special" email address?

So here is my answer, to the more general audience,
please forgive;

The two odd pieces, in some of the throwbot/slizer sets, which have a
half gear quadrant on one end fit together to form a worm housing which
can take either 24 or 40 teeth gears. If you can live with the odd shape
they are great. You can also nest them providing a nicely geared
down "elbow" joint.
