Part No: 3183 Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with Tow Ball Socket (Undetermined Type)
* 		3183 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with Tow Ball Socket (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

I have this in a set and I want to determine it, but I'm a little lost.
It has the 4 slots, but I can't tell from the limited pics the long and short
socket. Can someone help?

The four I have are the same length but as one has two slots and the others 4,
I guess they are all “long.”
The length is a bit more than a stud: you can’t put a brick in front of the socket
and aligned on studs. (You can put a plate because the slots are high enough
for the tiny “bit more.”)

Oh, if you have

those are shorter, by around 1mm.

Sorry for the late response, Mark.

I do truly enjoy your comic creations, they're superb satire. You sir, have
a gift, no doubt!

For the life of me, though, I don't understand this comic strip?

I see clearly Russell with his hair-on-fire, but don't get the storyline
or understand whom the others are? To be completely honest, I feel kinda stupid,
if it's a given for others!

  So it's a door/window/panel/technic/vehicle/slope/arch/brick modified/cylinder..
I think this part just broke the catalog


What about a new category: “Technic, Brick, Modified”?
This would include Parts (49699) and (30528), along with (2991), (2991b), (2989),
(85943), (18975), (92715), and (61185c01).
 
Part No: 49699 Name: Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes
* 		49699 Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes
Parts: Panel
 
Part No: 30528 Name: Arch 1 x 8 x 6 (Portal)
* 		30528 Arch 1 x 8 x 6 (Portal)
Parts: Arch
 
Part No: 2991 Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Angled with Bumper Holder
* 		2991 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Angled with Bumper Holder
Parts: Technic, Brick
 
Part No: 2991b Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Angled with Bumper Holder, Open Front
* 		2991b Technic, Brick 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Angled with Bumper Holder, Open Front
Parts: Technic, Brick
 
Part No: 2989 Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 4 with Bumper Holder
* 		2989 Technic, Brick 1 x 4 with Bumper Holder

Part No: 85943 Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Hole and Dual Liftarm Extensions
* 		85943 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Hole and Dual Liftarm Extensions
Parts: Technic, Brick
 
Part No: 18975 Name: Technic, Brick 2 x 4 x 1 1/3 with Pin Holes and 2 x 2 Cutout
* 		18975 Technic, Brick 2 x 4 x 1 1/3 with Pin Holes and 2 x 2 Cutout

* 		61185c01 Projectile Launcher, 2 x 4 with 5 Studs, Axle Hole and Pin Lever
Parts: Projectile Launcher

We actually have that in our organization method. All the technic bricks that
say "brick modified" along with the ones you've shown here. That would make
sense to break into a new category on BL.

  Also, it doesn't make much sense to call this part a cylinder:

 
Part No: 49949 Name: Cylinder 6 x 10 x 4 1/3 with Open Sides and Pin Holes
* 		49949 Cylinder 6 x 10 x 4 1/3 with Open Sides and Pin Holes
Parts: Cylinder

When its own counterpart that fits into it is a Slope:

 
Part No: 45411 Name: Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double
* 		45411 Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope, Curved


This actually makes a bit more sense, since Part (45411)'s original
counterpart is Part (45410), which is also classified as a Curved Slope. Both
Parts (45411) and (45410) could also be reclassified as Cylinders, though. 😐
 
Part No: 45411 Name: Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double
* 		45411 Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope, Curved
 
Part No: 45410 Name: Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Inverted Double
* 		45410 Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Inverted Double
Parts: Slope, Curved

Ok, yes, I can see why those should stick together.

Random idea: Changing Vehicle Base into Vehicle Base & Roof. Move all these parts
there, together with those car roofs that are currently in wedge but aren't
really that wedgy
