Four Methods of Flush Riveting

Synopsis

Flush riveting is a method of joining two pieces of sheet metal using rivets whose heads are flush with the metal surface. In aircraft construction, this technique reduces drag, thereby improving aircraft performance. This World War II-era Walt Disney industrial-training film explains four methods of flush-riveting aluminum sheet metal in aircraft: the Countersink method, the Double Dimple method, the Pre-Dimple method, and the Combination Pre-Dimple and Countersink method. The selection of a method depends on the thicknesses of the top and bottom metal sheets.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
