The end of the main ram works intoa hole in a yoke with wings projectingbeyond the sides of the main cylinder,where they join piston rods that workinto small cylinders paralleling the maincylinder and bolted to it on diametricallyopposite sides. The liquid, water or oil,is admitted to all the cylinders simul-taneously, but because the displacementof the side cylinders is considerably lessthan that of the main cylinder, the yoketravels faster, reaches the work ahead ofthe main ram and clamps the coupleryoke to the car coupler, forces the rivetinto place, making everything ready forupsetting the rivet by the time the mainram catches up. If the yokes are beingsheared from the couplers, the action ofthe clampi
