I have always heard of Jenny being a generic term for sheet metal 
machines, wether burring, turning, wiring etc.   It always amazed me 
learning sheetmetal and reading the books how they had a half dozen 
machines with its own unique operation and name that looked almost 
exactly alike, with the exception of the wheels.   After you start using 
them, the subtle differences come to light.
