    If I had one of those, and the line workers all had feathers up their kazoos, we'd all be tickled to death.

    Well, I could agree, if that production line were less manufacturing oriented and more Henry Ford assemblylinelike. I'd hate to see what some of those monotonous Detroit production line assemblers, who wunce were decent human beings then turned deviant psychos, have had stashed in their personal wardrobes. I could imagine that the following would qualify as a sneak preview

    I thought they used rivets as in Rosie the Riveter.

    Geraldine Hoff Doyle didn't always rivet. Now and then, she would lean over and grab a lathe wheel

    It depends on how often a panel needs to be removed for service, never (or very rarely) = Rivets, sometimes = screws or bolts, often = 1/4 turn or "cam lock" or "Dzus" fasteners. Some 1/4 turn fasteners can be seen on the partially open panel above the panel she is working on. In this case the flush fitting type.
