Spelling [wippen vs. whippen]

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi All,
I went to Google and typed in wippen. <G>
Under a German heading that had a translation it brought up swing and jack
and that is pretty much what we are dealing with here.
If you look up whippen on Google it shows that Renner lists the part as
whippen and another site shows a Brass rail whippen.
Both are correct by usage, however to me wippen is the way I chose to refer
to the part.
It is sort of like refering to a Sousaphone as a tuba.  While a Susaphone is
technically not a tuba, usage by the general public has made the use of tuba
when refering to a Susaphone an accepted use of the word.
Upward and onward, lets not major on minors.
