Another method uses a prairie ice jigger, a sledlike wooden device that slides along the underside of the ice. The jigger is launched under the ice, towing a rope. When the rope is pulled, a lever is raised; when the rope is released, the lever springs back in such a way that it pushes against the ice and jerks the jigger forward. 5, record 1, English, - prairie%20ice%20jigger

Une autre méthode consiste à se servir d'une navette, petit instrument de bois en forme de traîneau qu'on glisse le long de la surface inférieure de la glace. Sous la glace, la navette traîne une corde derrière elle et, lorsqu'on tire sur la corde, un levier se redresse; au moment où la corde est relâchée, le levier se rabat de telle sorte qu'il s'appuie contre la glace et pousse la navette vers l'avant. 1, record 1, French, - navette
