Giant Rive+ers Obsolete

Rapidly changing production
techniques are making year-old
machinery obsolete, the interest.
ing little paper, Automotive War
Production. published by II
Automotive Council on War Pr,
duction. points out. As an ex-
ample II cites the giant riveters
which Chrysler has been using
on its tanks.
These giant riveters were de-.
peloped for cold-riveting Of tank
hulls. Some are stationary and
some are moved by overhead
cranes. These machines exert
more than 100 tons Of pressure
in putting the rivets in place.
More than 95 per cent OF the
rivets used on the medium tank
were by this process.
But along came the army.
order to change models and use,
the all-welded hulls. The change
has been made gradually but the
usefulness Of the huge cold rivet-
ers is nearly at an end.
Costing many thousands OF
dollars. the machines will not be
scrapped, however. They will be,
adapted TO other war work, II Is
predicted.

Men OF Armed Forces
Given New Nickname

FORT KNOX, Ky.-UP-There's
a new name for those rough-and-
ready fighting men who strike the
enemy in tanks and other mechan-
lied battle weapons.
In the future, the nations ar
mored forces will be known as
ARMORAIDERS.
This became the official nick
name for the steel-clad legions as
the result Of a contest for enlisted
men. conducted by the Armored
Force News, their official publica-
ton.
Men OF the armored forces got
tired OF hearing themselves called
"Panzer units" ana "Blitz troops"
Those. they pointed out. are enemy
inventions and are not worthy Of
our powerful new tank army.
"Armoraiders was suggested by
Col. Franklin Leve of Headquarters
Company, 704th tank destroyer
battalion. Pine Camp. ~ Y. His
nickname was considered the best
OF more than $50 submitted in the
contest
The armored forces are going TO
do everything possible 10 make the
name popular believing that il will
add prestige TO this branch of the
service both at home and abroad.
