my purpose? not as easy to find as hugo's...do i have one? or am i a part that was molded wrong, that can't fit to make a clock, or a train, or a toy mouse..? hugo didn't think about those parts...but don't all those deformed metal pieces get turned into something new? a fitting piece? or maybe my broken piece just feel through a crack in the pavement, and got paved over, and over, and over...
