    I think that's a rivet gun, not a hand drill.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

    Definitely a drill - note electric cable and the actual bit between the open fingers. This looks more like a training jig where a "bad" rivet is drilled out and replaced. Rarely is work so convenient..

    I'm pretty sure it's Pnuematic, (air pressure) I used virtually the same thing when I was a mechanic for the Israeli Air Force working on F-16a/b's While a drill bit may be installed, I believe it is used as a screwdriver here. Screws are used in panels which would need to be opened frequently for repairs.

    Also - you should link to the other image of this woman here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179038448/in/s... This is more of a snapshot that gives the woman's identity; the other photo is more of a work of art. Both are gorgeous.

    Starstruck Queenslanders harass the Oliviers (1948) By Myles Sinnamon, Project Coordinator, State Library Of Queensland | 9 January 2017 On June 20, 1948, film stars Sir Laurence Olivier and his wife Vivien Leigh flew into Archerfield aerodrome in Brisbane's south. The famous couple was touring Australia as lead players with England's The Old Vic theatre company. After the strain of rehearsals and performances down south, the Oliviers decided to take a short break in Queensland where they hoped locals would respect their privacy - they were wrong. When the couple arrived at the aerodrome, there was a crowd of 500 fans (and press) ready to greet them. Headline from The Courier-Mail, June 21, 1948 "Here is your first gift from Queensland," gushed a young lady (pictured) as she presented Sir Laurence with "two fine pineapples". Within minutes of arriving, the Oliviers jumped into a waiting car and proceeded south to Surfers Paradise. To their dismay, they found 200 people outside their hotel awaiting their arrival. By the next day, they'd had enough of the constant fan vigil and decided to flee their hotel. They called Brisbane "theatrical friend" Bob Geraghty for help. Geraghty later told the press: "Larry called me ... and said, 'Bob, you speak our language. Where is nobody?' " He suggested a private house on Cannes Ave, Surfers Paradise, "with pleasant river views", which the couple liked. On June 27, Olivier and Leigh returned to Archerfield and gave 200 "well-wishers" the slip by hiding in the aircraft hangar until their flight was ready. Headline from The Courier-Mail, June 28, 1948 One letter to the editor attempted to atone for Queenslanders' unusual starstruck behavior: "We are really a very kindly people, and I should like to assure Sir and Lady Olivier that we do not bite or attack strangers, even if we are so rude as to stare at them."
