Mil-Spec For Riveting

The following books also provide relevant information, and, sometimes the same, just stated a bit differently.

I'm surprised at the times I read a reference book and overlook something, only to pick it up upon reading another.

Another John Thorp anecdote - in the space of two weekends, builders approached John with the same question. When the second was presented, I raised my had because I felt I knew the answer. John waived me off and proceeded to give advice from a TOTALLY different direction.

I was confused and, after the builder left, John chuckled and told me, I was right, but he just didn't feel the answer he gave two weeks ago would be "understood" by the second builder. Of such metal are geniuses made! :D
