    A steam drill is powered by a remote boiler while a length of steel hammered away at the rock face. It took the ingenuity of an American inventor named Simon Ingersoll in 1871 to come up with a device that rotated as well, effectively creating the first hammer drill.

    Whilst they dont really appear to be working a "rock face" I dont know enough, (actually SFA) about this to comment further

    Well Thanks Anyway But once you hear The Name Ingersoll Rand Say No More! A Remote Boiler, There must be Hoses to each Power Dril. And you can see some workkers standing on their machines to increase "The Rate of Penetration" I'd like to see one in a Machine Museum. Thx
