Ah, "jig" is the word I was looking for, thanks.
The Fokker F-27 was license built in the USA as the Fairchild FH-227. Around 200 build. The Durtch version was in production from 1958 to 1985, around 700 production units. It was succeeded by the Fokker 50 till the end of the Fokker Aircraft Factory in the 1990's. It was actually the most succesfull turboprop type in the world. The first one of 1958 was only recently retired to a museum, I believe. It was mainly glued together, in stead of rivetted, light and strong with an very long life span, 90 000 landings.
