upper skins joined together (L)

 §31-24, -25 (L)

These pages are surprisingly detailed regarding riveting the upper skins and nose skins together.  Specifically, they call out the order in which the riveting should be done and even that it should start in the center and work its way out.   Page 24 details attaching the upper skins to the main spar (two rows of rivets) and Page 25 details attaching the skins to each other.   The next page will be lots and lots of rivets affixing the ribs to the skins.  Stay tuned.
