We did some press work at Southwest Steel just after the dinosaurs quit
running, had a pair of 2" plates to attach to each other, holes were there
as they'd been riveted before. So, they had plenty of heat so we hand
(hammer) bucked eight rivets, the guys who built the Golden Gate deserve
a boxcar load of metals!
