    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.

Answering the nation's need for womanpower, Mrs. Virginia Davis made arrangement for the care of her two children during the day and joined her husband at work in the Naval Air Base, Corpus Christi, Texas. Both are employed under Civil Service in the Asse
