rivet machine

[ifama]

I am currently searching for informations about rivet machines. I would like to know what parts of a aircraft could be riveted by a machine instead of men. I was wondering if I have any information about the use of theses machines in the aircraft industrie.

Thanks,

I just found this - and remembered your post. Look at page 365, the second title.
