(...) It's not the same notch, their different. The one on the motor is rounded while the one on the 2L axle is set at a right angle. Steve (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Its been my experience that the notches are used to "click" them into place. Example: slowly put one into a full gray (or red) bush, you can "feel" it "click" or "lock" into place. It does the same thing with axle connectors too. Hope this helps. -- (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Boy are those little notches handy, too! I remember noticing the notches very soon after I left my dark ages. Most of my 2 long axles from before my dark ages have tooth marks from being removed from some other Technic piece. And I REALLY dislike (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

I've just thought of an explanation why some 2L axles have a notches a quater of the way along. I reckon it's so you can grip the end with a nail and pull the axle out of a socket hole, It's never occured to me before. Steve (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
