Scope and Content Dalzell Steelworks, Motherwell, Lanarkshire This works was founded by David Colville and Son in 1880 to complement their malleable iron works of 1871. It became part of Colvilles Ltd in 1930, and was subsequently nationalised and denationalised, renationalised and privatised. This view shows two hydraulic riveting machines, found in the Lanarkshire Steel Works earlier in 1978, and moved to Dalzell. The smaller one was made by Henry Berry and Co Ltd, Leeds. and the other by Sir William Arrol and Co Ltd, Glasgow. These were probably the last surviving unaltered examples of this type of once-common tool in Scotland. Both have been preserved by the National Museums of Scotland.
