For riveting,the coupler and shank with the rivets in place are set upright,and on opening the valve the small rams first clamp the yoketo the shank and then the large ram descends on the rivetsand heads them. The start of this operation is shown in thesecond illustration. De Witt Clinton Tr.\in Passenger.—Mrs. Eliza C.
