Operating a hand drill at Vultee-Nashville, woman is working on a "Vengeance" dive bomber, Tennessee (LOC)

  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.

• reckel1 said:

  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..

• Itamar Reiner said:

  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.

• Feeble Marble said:

  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.

It Might Take More Than Motherwit to Tell My Children What to Do About AIDS

from National Library of Medicine

• Brian J. Hunt said:

  Tell them what my mother told me.
  
  We wouldn’t have AIDS if “THOSE PEOPLE” couldn’t just keep it in their pants!
  
  My mother was both racist and homophobic. I’m absolutely convinced she never had an erotic thought in her life. My parents had separate bedrooms, and I’m adopted. ‘Nuff said.
