Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: A woman riveter in a Consolidated Vultee aircraft plant receives a supply of once cold aluminum alloy rivets, wrapped in cellophane envelopes, similar to those developed by DuPont for frozen foods. The film keeps the rivets cold two or three times longer than if they were in open pans.

Title: Using cold rivets
Date(s): 1945
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Aluminum alloy rivets in the little cellophane envelope at the left will remain cold and therefore are drivable for an hour or an hour and a half, because of the insulating property of the cellophane, instead of only a half hour, as was the case when they were left in open pans. This saves the woman riveter steps- she doesn't have to go to the refrigerator for a new supply so often. And she doesn't drop or return so many.
