Ed, Are you certain the hole was 13/16" diameter or was the rivet itself that dimension? Adopted as standard in 1917 The MCB chart shows 13/16" rivets with a button head 1 27/64" diameter.

During the early 1900's, the PRR used a rivet that went into a 13/16"
hole. Does anyone know what size the Rivet was, or is? Of all the drawings of the "sills" that I have had a chance to see, there is NO reference to size of rivet. By 1950's standards, the rivet would be 1/32" smaller than the hole. Doesn't seem that there would be that many nonstandard rivets made. Ed Schleyer |
