Among the wedge parts there are also many different ways parts are named,

I think more parts need to be renamed. Recently I was looking for the large excavator arm, did not find it among the parts starting with an E (like the small 3314 Excavator Arm 2 x 6 x 2), did not find it on the PT searching for 'Excavator', so I (...)
