HOW IT WORKS: Aircraft Flush Riveting

[@wjrneo2]

There is just something amazing about these old instructional videos. They are extremely simple, and not necessarily entertaining. But they are 110% to the point. I love how they can explain middle complicated concepts in a straight forward way. The old army video's on Differentials and how Torque Converters work are great.

The rambling and the 'entertainment' are intentional so that you don't actually learn anything.

When I learned riveting at Spartan School of Aeronautics in 1965, we were given hard rivets and dead soft aluminum sheet to work with. Anything less than perfect technique with that combination of materials left glaring marks on the metal for the instructor to point out, meaning we had to do it over again. Practice made perfect.

We really do stand on the shoulders of giants that came before us.

I can imagine this narrator at the breakfast table explaining to his kid the two ways of preparing a bowl of cereal. "The first method involves adding milk to the bowl followed by cereal. The second method involves first adding the desired volume of cereal to the bowl and then adding the milk"

[@paulh7589]

Hold spoon thusly (refer to fig 1.1) . If a crispy mouth-feel is desired one may eat aforementioned cereal immediately. For a softer mouth feel wait at least one minute between sample bites. When desired mouth feel is attained record the time it took for the milk to soak in. Record this time and store in a safe place for future reference.

Given the manufacturing variances between different brands and types of cereal, it is difficult to judge the amount of milk that will be needed for any particular bowel of cereal. For this reason, it is important to add the cereal to the bowel before adding the milk. Additionally, be on the lookout for people that add the milk to the bowel before adding the cereal. These people are certainly communists agents and should be reported to the US government with all haste.

@Travis Bickle The reasons for today having little to no substance can be traced back to 2 things : The internet and the refinement of the smart phone. The former is and can yet be a fantastic tool for countless purposes to improve life for all. Sadly, it has been squandered and perverted in so many useless ways to generate money. All the while only improving the lives of a very select few - those whom can afford to buy in. The latter being the magical all knowing magic screen. An expertly targeted device designed to control and monetarily enslave a specific demographic of the general population. May as well toss in the pot, the personal computer, it appeals to a broader part of the general public at large. And Television as well has been turned into a programming tool for the masses, it did not start out that way. Travis i am only a few years younger than yourself. I very clearly remember when none of it existed, and yes life had a sweetness to it that is no longer part of today - this world we live in. Your issues with women, well that i feel is a personal issue - i will stay out of that. Personally i feel women should be equal partners in all things. And should have been so for a very long time, certainly the span of my lifetime and probably a lot longer than that. I have a son 13, it is he that i feel sorry for as he inherits this soup of nothingness and insane political ideas of the " Modern " society. How he will navigate his way along his life when i die i find fearful. To be 13 years old in 2019 is a scary reality.

You might even say it was... riveting!

[@mikepeterson9733]

"A Walt Disney Industrial Training Film". Yes, I watched to the very end.

[@gvc76]

No, the very end says Lockheed Aircraft Corp, Burbank California, LOL

[@lanesaarloos281]

Excellent narrator, precise enunciation at a speed a 4th grader could process and remember.

[@Bageera63]

I think I watched this in '82 at Chanute AFB Tin Bender/Structural Despair School.

[@hayesj6698]

April '86 alumni here 🙋

[@Colorado_Native]

I was there in 1976/77 learning flight simulation. Miserable cold weather.

[@Aerospaceman]

Very enjoyable and informative video. Thank you from Spokane Valley, WA

[@dumelachris]

Why is this in my suggested vids? I know nothing of rivets, airplanes, bucking bars, lips or sheet metal. I have just demonstrated my lack of knowledge of rivets and dimples.

[@Melvinyoriel]

We had to manually put 2 universal AN470 rivets and then 4 AN427 rivets using the countersunk method as a small project in my Aircraft Structure Fundamentals class. As this video suggests, we couldn't exceed the predrive protrusion nor the flushness, which the professor would measure with a precision caliper. Then we had to fill out an FAA Form 337 simulating a repair to an aircraft. Good to know we weren't wasting our time.

After watching this video, I have an illusion that I can do riveting.

[@sporkstar1911]

This was a riveting presentation, I was on the edge of my seat.😮

[@eliorbilow8797]

I feel like I should be learning this in engineering school.

[@Bourinos02]

1 : Why is this in my suggestions? 2 : Why is this video so amazing? 3 : Animations from the 60-80's are amazing!

[@SithLord2066]

um... this is WW2 era video. Videos from 80's would have funky synthesizer music in it.

[@BULLOCK1973]

Why did i watch this entire video?, man i have a sad life.

[@whoiscapybara]

+BULLOCK1973 i love it.. learned lots of things ..

[@thespectator2976]

+BULLOCK1973 so did i :) but its very intresting i´d say :)

[@kainhall]

+Gekko Tec their are still somethings welded.... if you need to hold 2 things together but dont have access to the edges.... or special situations and the like. its a lost art sorta like brick masonry... its still done.... but not by many people and usually costs a lot of money.

[@spudpud-T67]

+BULLOCK Its the hypnotic voice, it forces you to listen; its riveting

[@johnrobinson4445]

+spud pud i see what you did there lol

[@danmccurry3810]

In manufacturing processes aerospace and aviation tolerances are second to none. Flying close to mach speeds at high altitudes defective rivets can and has lead to catastrophic events. Great tutorial on this subject.

[@Thee_Sinner]

This is the most bland video I’ve ever seen. And I watched the whole thing.

[@masterbard]

I felt like taking my life at the middle of the video. I almost got bored to death.

[@mel63613]

This is the same guy who narrates a video called: "Turbo Encabulator transmission". Look it up on U-tube.. It's great for a 'laff'!

[@ShieldArc200]

You needed your mother to hold your hand?

[@shoti1111]

You didn't reach maximu of procrastinating yet, if you think this vide is bland ;)

[@ReadTheShrill]

> This is the most bland video I’ve ever seen. It's about rivets.

[@jackmehoff2363]

I cant lie, this old style of teaching that came about in ww2 military training videos works well for me

[@199NickYT]

Boomers: "When I was your age, no one sat down and explained everything to me in detail. Common sense was my guide!" Boomers' work education:

[@insertphrasehere15]

No idea why this is so satisfying to watch.

[@ahmedabbas4434]

old but gold

[@allenwalker1379]

Love these old how it's made videos.

[@HuggingTree]

Autoplay brought me here, never have an airplane, but after this gonna build one

[@Everett-xe3eg]

Hell yeah! I love old videos like these.

[@MrShobar]

They didn't demonstrate the "double flush-hush hush" method of concealing a hole...

[@crinklecake53]

thank you spock for a clear and logical explanation of riveting

[@splatter_proto]

Somebody should show this to Boeing

[@ArchDudeify]

Such detailed illustrations + animations must have taken an age

[@jeromewhelan6723]

Thank you for making this available. It seems that, starting at 09:35, the introduction to the film appears at the end of the film. Out of curiosity, did you place the intro at the end, and if so, why? Thanks again, Jerry

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

I noticed that, too. I think it may have been a deliberate copyright dodge, although with a training film of this type, I'd think the copyright would have expired by now, if copyright was ever claimed in the first place.

[@hummel6364]

I wonder if at any time this tape was to be used in a way where it would loop, the end of the tape could have been copied from the beginning in order to make stitching it together in a seamless loop easier.

[@riiwind]

I love these old videos!

[@dLimboStick]

Is this William S Burroughs narrating?

[@finkelsteinyablonsky518]

Much better at 1.25x speed. I miss these older videos
