This is a very good example of a good building jig. Here?s why:
1. It rotates to any convenient position.
2. It?s stiff enough to hold everything in alignment without excessive sag.
3. It?s open for access to the hardware.
4. The jig?s frame is spaced far enough away from the device itself that tools can be used between the device and the jig. And the main frame of the jig is out at the corners of the thing inside it.
4. The device?s supports, that hold it to the jig, are relatively unobtrusive.
I got this out of the Wall Street Journal. Sorry for a photo of the page rather than a screenshot. The jig is one of Boeing's but I don't know what the thing is that they're building.
