Swedish term or phrase: timplars och formors insättning
Ancient entry in a manuscript describing the tasks and rewards of workers in a smelting house:

Brännvin, då beljorna gingo åstad, vid hopajernsvägningen, då beljorna stadnade, vid stampjernets uppvägning, vid klotbrytningen under ställningen, vid åldermans tjänstgöring, vid isning och vid dammens reparation samt vid timplars och formors insättning.

the assembly of tymps and moulds
Explanation:
According to SAOB timpel is to be compared to the English Tymp, or Timp - as well as the German tümpel.

From the context I would suspect that the "formor" is a typo. I believe it ought to be "formar" - moulds

Yes, it may be an ancient spelling, I agree.
