ROHN also made a gin pole attachment device that could be
used on folded metal legs for their HDBX series towers.
(Perhaps I should say that I *assume* that ROHN made the device)
It consists of two separate round clamp holders for the mast
with a hinged bracked that has a cylindrical pawl that screds
into the wedge of the tower. (The adjustment screw is perpendicular
to the cylinder). I have only seen one pair of these things in my
lifetime.
