Pour les épais recouvrements, impliquant de larges tranchées, on a été [...] amené à construire des draglines marcheurs [...]

OBS

Le GRENB est la seule source où nous avons trouvé dragline au masculin. D'ailleurs dans CETTE, 1971, à la page 46, on retrouve la justification suivante relative au genre : "Tous les mots français terminés par "ine" étant au féminin, l'entrée de «dragline» dans le vocabulaire doit se faire au féminin.
