In germany things are (of course!) different: Plane types adhere to a
standard (or several), there is a DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm) for
each type of plane, so the planes from different manufacurers look
rather similar. Also the planes dont have a number, rather a name,
for example theyare called something like "Rauhbank" (jointer plane),
according to DIN 7311 with iron according to DIN 5145
