    Salvage was so critically important. You are talking about a period of time when people were saving bacon grease for the war effort. We could learn some lessons about re-use from WWII

Riveter at work at the Douglas Aircraft Corporation plant in Long Beach, Calif. (LOC)

    Excellent posed picture..hokey though because the rivets are already driven, and, more importantly, there always had to be a "bucker" holding a bucking bar tool which caused the other end of the rivet to expand. If he were really driving a rivet by himself, his left hand would have to be holding the bucking bar on the other side of the skin/rib. Neal
