1ª = 5+ suit, 11-15 hcp in Precision.
1NT = Less then 3-card ª-support, many sorts of hands, 5-11 hcp, one round
force. The only difference with 1ª-pass-1NT is, that redouble
would show 3+ ª-support, and 10+ hcp. If East has 4+ support and 10+ hcp, he would use Truscott
2NT, of course.
2§ = Having perhaps as little as 3 clubs.
2© = 6+ suit, 5-9 hcp.
