Worker riveting an airship frame, 1937

A fair-haired young man in a work jacket and neckerchief bends into the triangular lattice girders of an airship frame, fitting and riveting the light-metal struts; a second worker moves behind him, and in close view he braces a long lever against a joint. Each ring of a rigid airship was assembled by hand from thousands of such struts of duralumin, and the Zeppelin works around Hugo Eckener had trained generations of specialist workers in the craft.
