Flush head rivet developed to eliminate aerodynamical "drag" of projecting, brazier rivets in aircraft fuselages, created production problem relating to tooling and costs; it has been successfully solved in plant of Curtiss Aeroplane Division; rivet driving in airplanes is important factor; estimated cost of driving each rivet under old method averaged 5¢ through development of new techniques and tooling, added cost for flush riveting is only 30%.
