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 one of two hydraulic riveting machines, found in the Lanarkshire Steel Works earlier in 1978, and moved to Dalzell. This is the smaller of the two, and was made by Henry Berry and Co Ltd, Leeds. Its riveting dies are missing. These were probably the last unaltered examples of this once-common device to survive in Scotland. Both have been preserved by the National Museums of Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
