Il has been found that if these rivets are stored, after heat -treat- ment and quenching, at a tempera- ture of about minus 10 degrees F., they hold on to their working "lite" for a longer time than Usual!. As duralumin, which is being in- creasingly used for the malting of aircraft, tends quickly to "age -har- den," this lieu' application of refrig- eration will permit aircraft rivets to be stored without ally deterioration until they are ready to be used, Special refrigerations, capable of holding 5110 lbs. of rivets at a i11Ihtg, are ROW being installed at a )lumber of IIrit.ish factories, This freezing Process, which ellmluatos the need for "bracing up" t10 rivets, will help the speed-up of British aircraft man- uftiettu'e.
