 Hmmm,  I dunno how anyone can call this correct or incorrect.  Who in our trade is charged with the task of determining the 
"correct" spelling? According to Bill Garlick, it was "Whippen" in 1975. I will stick with that.
    Is that a jack or a fly?  Repetition or Balancier? Wrestplank or pinblock?
