| I have been looking for this part in the catalogue have now discovered
that is marked for deletion.
That's OK, I can understand why.
But what I don't understand is why are the two individual bricks
and are listed as being 1 x 4 when they are really 1 x 2 individually
and only make a 1 x 4 when joined. I have been searching for a hinge brick 1
x 2. Is a catalogue change needed?
Thanks for reading

| I imagine as many people know it as a 1x4 hinge brick, and search for that. But
yes, it is a bit strange.

I'd suggest a change to both names, e.g.
"Brick, Modified 1 x 2 Swivel Top for Hinge Brick 1 x 4"
or something like that

It's only a 1 x 4 if the hinge is "open" but if "closed" it's a 2 x 2

| The plate versions are the same way.

Really puzzled by this.
What is the reasoning / logic for this description for a part which is clearly
1 x 2, until it is attached to a similar 1 x 2 part, which then becomes a 1 x
4 part with a hinge/swivel in the middle, but only then. If you followed the
description of attaching and together, descriptively
it would make a piece 1 x 8.

Basically I think by the title it's saying "this is the top/bottom of the
hinge plate 1x4 swivel". But after condensing and removing small words, they
just attach top/bottom to the end of the name.
But I do agree, it is quite confusing and doesn't make sense.

The alternative logic is that if you attach the base of a widget to the top of
a widget then you make a widget. Of course, in that case the naming doesn't
help you identify what the item is if you don't know what it is.

It was stupid to delete it in the first place.
