A new York World man. after visiting the Newark B'y' yard, writes: One of these men was.Gua Nollstedt; who' had not had a riveting "gun" in hands'until eight days ago. Re Was an electrician. The other day hey went out to one of the ways and drove 734 flush rivets in the bottom shell of a ship in nine hours. James McClemens, his holder un, or bucker.up, who pushed against him on the rivets„ had been at' the work .only four days. He was a jaw eler. The heater boy, Ariel Hyde, also has heea tonging hot rivets out for only four days.. All this work Iiollstedt did was overhead, ao that he could not stand 'upright, but was crouched in a difficult position. New "speed merchants," as the fast- est riveters have come to be called, are getting: into the contest daily. A team at the Standard Shipbuilding Corpor- ation, on Shooter Island, composed of James : Parise, riveter; Dominick Tag lifiger, holder -on, and "Coxey" ' Carr," heater -boy, drove 1,009 rivets recently They were cheered as they stopped work for the Clay. Parise is known as "Lutz" among his fellow workers, and Taglifiiter has been given the pet.name of "Teddy • Bear."' They were tc,pp 3d in' the day's score at that yard, however, by- the team composed��of Joseph Bennett," riv= eter,•and Morrow, hold -on, with a passer bey named Bi'lbet. • They drove. 1,0x3 rivets and worked only sever -trey half ... Riveting is, hard work, li ` it =has' its humorous side. Take "Big E Gibson, at the Federal yard in Kearny,. for ex- ample. If the rivets don't, come fast enough and there is:a. lull in the work, he ` playa a tune with his rivet 'gin." Many times+ during the'day he has his holder -on,, and particularly his , heater bay, .battling forlbreath. Gibson does not know the Meaning of letting up. If the holder:on does not withdraw a temporarily- • placed rivet fast . enough Gibson applies the "juice" to his rivet- ing hammer, touches the lcose rivet with it, and sends, the • pin skyrocketing The fellows on the other. aide of the steel plates know, what that means, and they get busier than ever, • . Another favorite stunt which amuses onlookers is for the riveter- to talk to the hold -on through a a- or i inch rivet - hole. Each team also has a code ofits own. The riveter gives signals: with his pneumatic hammer. Each tap means something. Action on the part.:.of the others is the only response. . High• • score rivetg semis to have caused THE WORLD n to make 'Wine,iu' uiries ` q , for r he writes . Investigation• of these high scores in: variably has shown they weree the `result of what in shipyard parlaoce is known as "set ups".

Bents is divided ilgnong the members of the riveting team for each flush rivet, the riveter getting the most and the heater boy the least. Only four cents on the average -is paid for snap rivets. Knight also kept seven helpers .busy. This is considered overloading a rivet- ing team. It means several : furnaces instead of one in;which to heat the riv- ets, It was 'reported that Knight would get $102 38 for his day's work. . There is still another claimant, one J. J. Briggs, a New -Yorker, who Snakes • the other speeders look' like thirty cents —if his record stands. The New York Sun say*. , „ Being a good American. Briggs didn't like the idea of a Britisher walking away with the world's record,, so he pro- ceeded—or at least the foreman of the 'Atlantic ilasin shop says he did --to make Farrant's accomplishment look like that of a riveting piker by pound. ing into the rude Of a requisitioned' Dutch vessel 7,864' rivets in seven and a half hours, approximately seventeen and one half a minute. • • So speedy was the indefagable.

Abilolute cleanliness is the best preventative. • bucks the foot of the rivet with a :heavy piece of iron, had to be relieved fre- quently, ,. The ,entire 'gang of -record - breakers included, besides Briggs, a heater boy, passer, and holder -on, The almost unbelievable speed of this crew was maintained without letup, despite the fact that some of the riveting WAS over butt straps, anal consequently more difficult than straigt riveting. Briggs gg worked on a scaffold on the outside of, the ship, his helpers on the inside. As they heated the pins and thrust them. through the 'Boles in the plates he drove the caps on them with his "gun."
