It may be as simple as a hammer and a basket lowered on a cable (a "cable tool", still used ... in some parts of West Virginia), but since 1900 a "rig" refers to a rotary drilling rig, wherein a bit is screwed onto the bottom of some pipe, and the pipe is turned at the surface ("rotary") and the whole "drill string" drills a hole into the ground. 5, record 3, English, - oil%20rig

Doctors sometimes have to resort to inserting a feeding tube directly into the stomach of a patient who cannot maintain their weight by eating. But, like any surgery, this can lead to complications. Now an inventor believes he could achieve the same result more safely using two magnets--one inside the stomach and one outside. The two magnets gradually come together, boring a small, neat hole between the stomach and the outside. 2, record 9, English, - feeding%20tube

A continental method of shaft sinking through sand which is water-bearing. The shaft is formed by boring in stages, increasing in sizes from the pilot hole of about 4 feet in diameter to the final excavation size. Once the shaft is bored, mud flush circulation continues while the lining is lowered. The lining consists of two steel cylinders, one within the other, and the annular space is filled with concrete. The cylinders are lowered into the shaft and 10-foot lengths are added and welded in position at the shaft top. 1, record 12, English, - Honigmann%20process

Le procédé Honigmann permet de réaliser, jusqu'à 500 m de profondeur, des forages dont le diamètre dépasse 6 m. Il a été utilisé, pour la première fois, en 1942 en Allemagne, par la «Rheinische Braunkohlen-Tiefban G.m.b.M.» pour le fonçage dans les sables boulants du puits I de la concession «Union 103» [...]. La méthode consiste à forer à l'eau lourde des trous de diamètre de plus en plus grand, chacun d'eux atteignant la profondeur désirée. Le forage initial de 0,70 m de diamètre est ainsi successivement élargi à 2 m, 3,5 m, 5 m et 6,15 m. L'outil de perforation entraîné par une table de rotation comporte, suivant la nature des terrains, quatre ou six branches sur lesquelles sont fixés des couteaux amovibles. Au-dessus de lui, un tambour métallique sert de guide [...]. La grande particularité du procédé se trouve dans la circulation de boue qui [...] se fait au moyen d'un émulseur disposé dans la partie supérieure des tiges, système qui convient très bien pour les élargissements successifs, les débris tombant dans le forage en cours d'élargissement. 2, record 12, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20Honigmann
