Mystery solved?

"Reynolds 531 Frame Tubes"

I know there were also titanium and aluminum frames marketed under the technium name. I think the 460's (all aluminum?) are more common though.

Yeah, the deeper I look, the more convoluted it gets. I'm thinking the "Technium" name was a marketing term derived from the frame-building process of bonding metal tubes into dissimilar lugs with adhesives.
