My mother in law (now 95 years young) was a "Rosie the Riveter". However, that correlation is lost on her...she will state rather emphatically I wasn't a riveter! She was a aircraft welding inspector for Budd's in Philly working on a stainless steel aircraft project for the Navy. When that was scrapped she moved to the hydraulic press operation using left over stainless to punch out cooking utensils for Navy ships. Her sisters worked there also. I believe one making fuses for artillery shells.
Her favorite line was from her first day in press operations..."If you have an accident, we don't call the ambulance...we just call a hearse!"
Here is the RB-1 Conestoga that they worked on. (As I understand it no rivets. All welded stainless)
