The right kind of tool, whatever the spelling
1.44.23A request for one kind of tool is answered with that kind, even when the word for it is misspelt or written without its umlaut.

A misspelt tool name or a German word written with ae, oe or ue now reaches the same knowledge as the correct spelling. When a request names an end mill, a drill, a reamer, a tap or a countersink, products of another kind are no longer offered in its place, and where the catalogue holds none of the kind asked for, the reply says so and asks.
