[GreenKeys] Type Faces Type Pallets and Type Bars

[Jim Plummer via GreenKeys]

 I have done this using a small butane torch.  After cleaning the old solder off of the type bar, the end of the type bar is wrapped with a fine copper wire.  the type pallet is placed (wedged) over the wire, aligned and then soldered in place.  Alignment is the touchy part of the process.

In my former U. S. Army Signal Corps Teletypewriter Tool Kit
(hermetically sealed in 1953) were two soldering irons.
One was very large and was intended to be used to change the type pallets on the end of the type bars.
I am wondering if anyone has done this and what they might have used.
