Was it Bruce Ismays fault that the rivets of the Titanic were cheap?

When buying iron for the Titanic's rivets, the company ordered No. 3 bar, known at the time as "best" - not No. 4, known as "best-best". Records show that shipbuilders of the day typically used No. 4 iron for anchors, chains and rivets.
Many of the rivets studied by the scientists - recovered from the Titanic's hull two miles down in the North Atlantic were found to be riddled with high concentrations of slag. This is a glassy like residue of smelting, slag can make rivets brittle and prone to fracture as it causes small pockets which are brittle. There are still reports (as complied by the UKs BBC) that there was actually a fire in the coal bunkers in the forward boiler room which was burning to such a degree that this may have added to the issue of metal fatigue. In their report the BBC found notes from firemen of the time at the dock that the hull glowed as the internal heat increased. Stokers were, until disembark time trying to shove out the hot coals to bring down the temperature. The enquiry post accident was, it is claim told to ignore this as it did not represent the instances of the collision

Why come the Titanic wasn't unsinkable?
The Titanic was made of cheap steel and very week rivets (screws) and the watertight chambers were reduced in size to make more room for 1st class passengers. So, when the boat hit the iceberg, the bad quality steel tore and water entered the watertight chambers, one by one, sinking the boat.

How do you replace a power window motor on a 1991 Pontiac Firebird?
1. remove door panel trim. The regulator is riveted to the power window motor, with 3 large rivets. Three other large rivets atatch this whole assy to the inside of the door. It is important to drill out the rivets holding the regulator /and motor to the door, and leaving the motor attached to the regulator, because the regulator has a heavy spring that will be released if the rivets are removed. To separate the regulator and motor you need to drill a hole in the regulator arm, and place a nut and bolt through the hole, at a point that will keep the spring compressed once the motor is removed. Now that the regulator is secure, the rivets on the motor can be drilled out, and motor separated. The new motor needs to be bolted onto the regulator, or riveted. The factory rivets are large, and it is doubtfull you will find such large rivets, or a rivet gun for that purpose, so stick with bolts and nuts. reinstall the complete assy, and again bolt in the whole assy inside the door. bolts and nuts are a real pain in the butt to use in such a confined space, but again rivets of such a large size are hard to find, along with a real large rivet gun. I reccommend using nylon locking nuts so they will not come loose after a certain amount of time and vibration. A set of rubber door stops is also usefull in holding the window glass in the up position while work is being done. You will find a rivet gun that size at Habor Freight cheap china made but will do the trick.

How do you replace the window motors for 1993 buick skylark?
You may as well change the whole mechanism. I've seen them on Ebay pretty cheap. Around $50. The motor itself has pop-rivets holding it down. You'd probably spend as much money on tools as you would replacing the mechanism.
How do you repair a Saturn manual window that won't go down?
It sounds like the window regulator, the thing that makes the window go up and down, has worn out. The only way to fix it is to replace the window regulator, which will require removing the outer door skin...Yes, the outer door skin. The door handle is held on by a couple of plastic pins that you should buy replacements for as they are hard to get out and may not be reusable. You will also require a special tool to remove the retainer nut that holds the glass to the regulator, it sells for about $27 without shipping. You will need a drill to remove the pop-rivets that are holding the old regulator to the door steel. I chose to use small bolts to replace the rivets as the rivet gun to put the size rivets that are required is not cheap, and will not do the smaller, more common pop rivets. If you are looking for new parts, www.autopartspeople.com has an excellent menu and has diagrams showing the parts for most large items. Good luck
What is the name of the movie where Bruce Li opens up a school Local thugs want to close it down but cannot beat him Bad guys find someone who beats him Bruce then trains and seeks revenge?
The only thing that comes to mind at all is Dragon the Bruce lee story by universal pictures. They tell him to quit teaching The secrets of their martial arts and they challenge him to combat, this is where his back gets broken and he becomes paralized..From a cheap shot to the Spine from behind...
How do you replace the front passenger window motor on a 1998 Buick Skylark?
The trouble with this one is you'll need to use pop-rivets and I suppose you'll need a special tool for that.... If you still want to do it yourself, get a Chilton's repair manual for GM cars for these years. Amazon or Ebay should have them and cheap. They do have the instructions for replacing that motor.
