Thanks, Robert, this does work fine....

However, in further studies on this topic, I have stumbled across the 
.attributes() method, which seems like a more sensibly named thing to 
see in code, and appears to accomplish the same thing.

x = @tolerance2.attributes[@size[2]]

Any reason that one is better than the other in my case. I can see that 
send() can even call a method, and that could be useful, but in this 
case, I am specifically looking for an attribute value by it's name.
