Process check on Riveting to I.I. A.24 and M.426.

[Underlined] B SHOP GROUP. [/underlined] 18/11/43

All rivets entering Quarantine Stores are inspected, placed in their respective bins, and issued to rivet stores as required.

[Underlined] Storage and Heat Treatment of Dural Rivets. [/underlined]

All dural rivets are heat treated in E Shop and stored in Drikold containers at temp: of from -15°C to -20°C, for 6 days.

Storage records were examined and found in order. Containers are topped up with Drikold Cones every 24 hours, and entirely cleaned out approx: every three weeks.

A temperature check is taken by W.I.D. every fortnight. Records of same were checked and found to be within the temperature range.

[Underlined] Issue Control. [/underlined]
The approved system of coloured containers is being satisfactorily employed.

[Underlined] Workmanship. [/underlined]

Owing to an influx of trainee labour, the standard of workmanship has dropped slightly, but is being overcome by strict supervision by inspection staff.

Process as viewed is considered satisfactory.
