Waitaminnit....I've never heard of a mechanical sledgehammer....


One iconic use of sledgehammers is for driving railroad spikes into wooden sleepers during rail construction. When the two ends of the Union Pacific railroad were joined at Promontory, Utah, Leland Stanford hammered a golden spike into a tie with a silver hammer.

The origin of the name "sledgehammer" is rooted in the shipbuilding industry, where ships would be built on large wooden sledges held in place by wooden chocks. The completed vessel would be launched by removing the chocks with a large, heavy hammer.

6. Peter Gabriel......."Sledgehammer"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqyc37aOqT0



A sledgehammer is a tool consisting of a large, flat head attached to a lever (or handle). The head is typically made of metal. The sledgehammer can apply more impulse than other hammers, due to its large size. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area. This is in contrast to other types of hammer, which concentrate force in a relatively small area.............

Mechanisms and Movement

Mechanisms are used to convert between one type of motion and another. Any machine can be looked on as a group of interconnected mechanisms which convert one type of motion to a variety of other motions. Sorry Solitude, I had to post it. bigsmile
