Taken from a seamthat was broken through the rivet holes. FlGS. 27 and 28.—Long rivets takenfrom a broken casting which they were in-tended to secure to the wrought-iron headof the boiler. The holes in the wrought-iron platewere drifted and chipped to allow the rivets to en-ter, as shown by the enlarged portion of the Fig. 26.
