| I just noticed, that in the last few years part 2429c01 [Hinge Plate 1 x 4 Swivel
(2429 / 2430)] was redesigned. The differences between the old and new versions
are visible from bottom view (pin holding together the two parts), and the thickness
of the half hinges are also modified. In the old version both halves are half-plate
thick, in the newer version the top part is thinner and the bottom is thicker.
These changes usually does not affect functionality, until 'someone'
tries to combine two different halves (for example to make a cool infinity folding
cube, see the picture). If the top part is newer, the hinge will work quite well
(with some slack – notice the gap). But in case of newer bottom part, the complete
hinge will thicker, than a plate. It can not be used that way, that is why I
think it would be important to sign the difference between the two versions with
different catalog entries.
