As seen in the link I enclose above, the Hirth coupling consists of two toothed halves which mesh together.
This is (probably) why the author says "coronas" -each half of the coupling could be called this- but the makers use to make them in pairs, that is, to make couplings, not the parts ONLY (even if from the manufacturing viewpoint that would be correct).

: I have to agree with this rather than my own hasty answer - I was going by "bits", but "couplings" makes much more sense...!

Thanks, owhisonant

Wirth bits
Of the two, I believe the German has more of an international rep, but based on your excerpt, I could not say which one is being referred to here. Although the German does specialize in drill- and other bits...

Reference comments
Wirth versus Hirth
| agree |
psicutrinius
: Albert Hirth died in 1935. He patented his coupling, but the rights have surely lapsed.
