For what it's work my husband a blacksmith and boilermaker trained in the 1950's has explained to me that in the early 1900's engineering tasks were very specific eg. a driller drilled holes, a riveter had an assistant to heat the rivets to white hot (very important the color past red hot) ready for insertion by the rivetter in the pre drilled holes etc. So I support the engineering theory. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M HOWES" <m.m.r.howes@btinternet.com> To: <eng-banbury-area@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [BAN] What was a driller in... http://www.halarose.co.uk/blue/p_SIR_BERNHARD_SAMUELSON.html --- On Mon, 22/6/09, M HOWES <m.m.r.howes@btinternet.com> wrote: From: M HOWES <m.m.r.howes@btinternet.com> Subject: Re: [BAN] What was a driller in...
