| I noticed there are two variants of the 40243 spiral step that behave differently.
On the bottom side, there is a support ridge in the round part that may be located
(see picture):
- Facing away from the step
- Facing toward the step
Both parts have the same code, 40243.
When assembled with the 40244 support axle, with the steps fully spread out:
- The variant which has the support facing away from the step, will have
a part of each step overlapping the previous one (see second picture).
- The variant which has the support facing toward the step - as far I
can tell - will have no (or very little) overlap between adjacent steps.
See third picture, but note only the lowest 6 steps are of the second variant,
because I don't currently have a full set of 8 of them. 
All of the steps pictured here are of the old light gray color.
So, does anyone happen to know if particular sets come with a particular variant,
or if it's just random?
