I found this out when I needed to put a clear and a trans-yel.
1x1 plate mounted on a 1x2 plate as vertical front turn signals/parking
lights on the sculpted front fenders of a car, and this was the only
way to keep this light assembly from rotating without having it
mounted deeper in the fender. (OTOH, any odd-length brick/plate
mounted vertically with its bottom end on an upright side-stud-1x1
will have its top flush with a plate boundary.)(all of which
can be seen on a rather clumsy Chrysler-Atlantic-ish 'retro'
car, with odd-looking gull-wing doors, currently at the
Construction Site expo together with a great dragon made by
my daughter, and thus probably on their website in a month or so.)
