Well, it's new to me, a friction version of the 'technic axle pin', • 3749,
in
black.

Has this appeared anywhere else? It looks like it could be useful...

Are you sure it is a friction version, and not just black?

I ask because I picked up a used, non-friction black 'technic pin axle' • from
Someone at a past fest.

As Adrian has said, there were some non-friction black ones in some 1980's
space sets, but these are definitely friction -- they stop the right arm
from swinging about.

I'd be disappointed (in LEGO) if there's both a friction & non-friction version
in the same colour. Up till now, such subtle differences were easily "sortable"
by colour, this would change that drastically. What space sets have the
non-friction version in black?

(...) The all-terrain [sic] vehicle (don't have the number handy) used it to mount the wheels. But this was many years before the friction pegs were invented. --Bill. (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They are definitely friction pegs. They are indeed black. I'd be disappointed to if I had bought a 'sorting toy' instead of a construction toy. The REAL confusion would be if they were light grey. (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
