Re: A s'load of rivets.
As a young engineer in the steel industry, I had to place aside my AISC manual when I was assigned to any structural project in the mill that dealt with a building that was pre-WWII. The real talent on a heavy steel project are the crane operators…the iron workers…just plain nuts to this day.
