Reply To: Twinner Multi-Jigset (what is this tool for?)

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Thanks to Robert’s discovery … I have just found this:

Improved Welding Technique. — A new 

development to be included in the 1952 
British Industries Fair, to be held in 
London and Birmingham from May 5 
to May 16, is an improved method of 
welding known as the "Twinner Tech- 
nique''. The basic idea is that universal 
holding tools are set up on the top plate 
of a welding positioner to receive the 
workpieces to be welded. The holding 
tool acts as a jig, and being mounted 
on the welding positioner, the work- 
piece can be positioned to suit the weld- 
ing procedure. Complicated weldments 
can thus be built up rapidly from a 
series of sub-assemblies with special jigs, 
the sub-assemlies being brought together 
as a final assembly on the welding posi- 
tioner. 

This method is claimed both to econ- 
omize considerably in production time 
and to eliminate the cost of special jigs. 
The ''Twinner Technique" is made by 
Donald Ross and Partners. Limited. 1-3 
Arlington Road, London, N.W.I.
