Notons cependant que certaines perforatrices des mines de fer, montées sur jumbos, ont une poussée hydraulique. Ici ce n’est plus l’avancement qui est constant, mais la poussée, ce qui est beaucoup plus sûr. Dans certaines de ces machines, alimentées par câble électrique enroulé sur un tambour dévideur, les perforatrices elles-mêmes sont hydrauliques. 5, record 2, French, - jumbo
