 | Effects of Tools & Machines | Man has been able to acquire the supreme position in the world by dint of tools & machines, the third hand of man, which have helped him to be free from the bondage of Nature. By producing more, tools and machines have allowed man to enjoy leisure and progress of civilization but producing powerful destructive weapons they have encouraged barbarism.They have made the rich richer and the poor poorer and instead of being served man has become their servant. |

It has many attatchments that range from a clamshell bucket for digging and moving large rocks, to a large pole driver, and even a crane for hoisting sunken boats. It is a very versatile and interesting machine. |

|  | Largest Digging Machine | This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world. It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary, it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move it with conventional hauling equipment. |
