deeper in the material and possibly weaken to the point of breaking through it may be found that rivets are too longor too short not more than three sixteenths of an inch should protrude through the band in rivet ing these ends use quick light blows F g 3 counters ng the hole holes in the brake band as heavy ones will draw the rivet I 1 ead in the I 1 ning too tight this operation Is performed with the brake in the same position as N vlen I 1 en us ng the rivet set do not remove the bolts that were nere used as temporary lol I 1 dings until the holes not occupied by bolts have been filled with rivets tl TI Is completes the foot brake and the same methods are used in relining rell ning the internal or hand brake for internal brakes with the exception of the marking of the holes the methods just described are applicable to the inte internal anal brake it Is not necessary to put the shoe in place with the lining as with the external band when the th lining has been cut making the
