Yes, but in the case of Alex Singer, it's the opposite, and I've always wondered if it was not some kind of special headtube design, that would have some kind of lug extension in order to take the top tube and the down tube like on an ordinary lugged frame. So it would not be bi-laminating strictly speaking, and it would have the advantage to replace the down tube or top tube just by unbrazing a lug, so you can repair without heating too much the junction that it to remain on the frame before and after the repair... Not sure I made myself clear. I asked about this typical Alex Singer detail, but I did not explain myself too well, the guy did not understand what I was asking, and said it was just a distingtive detail, like the curvy stays on Hetchins... I would like to ask again to the frame builder there...
