La marionnette à gaine, «burratino» en italien, n'a pas de corps. Des vêtements, dont les larges manchettes se terminent par des mains de bois, sont fixés sur une tête en bois. «Ganter» une poupée, c'est passer l'index dans le trou de la tête, le pouce dans la manchette gauche, le médium, l'annulaire et l'auriculaire dans la manche droite. Ainsi la marionnette est en positon de jeu. 2, record 3, French, - marionnette%20%C3%A0%20gaine

The tattoo machine is basically the very same since it was first designed. Coils send an electric current through the machine, causing the needles to move in an up-and-down motion at a very fast pace. This electric current is regulated by a power supply, and the machine is then turned on and off through the use of a foot pedal. 5, record 7, English, - tattoo%20machine

Le dermographe fait vibrer un groupe de fines aiguilles plusieurs centaines de fois par minute, ce qui crée une série de perforations dans la peau.
