This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. An inexpensive hand-operated tool is used at Langley Research Center to dimple airframe skins to receive countersunk-head rivets. New male and female mandrel dies were designed to fit a commercially-availabel pop rivet gun. The tool replaces bulky pneumatic equipment normally used for dimpling. It compresses an airframe skin 100 to receive 100 rivets. This new tool will permit dimpling in many structures where the mandrel on a pneumatic tool cannot be used because of throat-depth restriction....FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Director, Technology Transfer Division, P.O.
