Although expensive to operate, steam ploughs were significantly more efficient than horses, and they did not need to be fed all year. Steam threshing was certainly faster than the old method, which involved a separator turned by horses on a treadmill, but the machines were not without their drawbacks. With their heavy boilers, steam engines were very heavy, and could only be used on relatively dry fields. 1, record 2, English, - steam%20threshing

Steam hammers may be of several types, all of which require the use of steam boilers or air compressors. Single-acting hammers employ steam or compressed air to raise the movable mass which is then tripped and falls by gravity alone. In the United States the movable ram is inside the casing; in Europe the casing is sometimes the movable part. 1, record 4, English, - single%2Dacting%20hammer
