    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called IRON WORKS PHOTOGRAPHY, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    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

    Those things sticking out like spines are called "Cleco" fasteners; spring-loaded clips used for holding thin sheets together while riveting.

    Is this photo staged? I does not look like there is a set in the rivet gun. Also I wonder if it was common for women doing that kind of work to wear that much makeup. Dave

    Whether for publicity or actual, the quintessential Rosie The Riveter, that helped put em in the air. God bless the American Women that came out of the kitchen and into the workforce when the Country needed her; couldn't have done without her.
