Abstract
An apparatus for rapidly and accurately positioning and holding a very small elongated body, such as a stylus holder during manufacturing is disclosed. A pair of magnets or magnetized regions are utilized to position the stylus holder both rotationally and axially. A pusher mechanism, in conjunction with a pair of locating blocks very precisely aligns the stylus holder, causing it to engage the seat of an anvil for support during the manufacturing operation. A retaining mechanism retains the stylus holder within the apparatus until completion.
