The whole is extremely simple FLOKKI The piston rod is built in- tegral with the steel gulde which operates on a sliding rail, this rail being the main support. During the driving operation the pistoni rod, with the boltum part of the sliding rail, rests directly on the pile and slides downwards Kon the main beam to the extent to which the pile is being driven in.

The driver will strike an average o1 40 to 50 blows per minute, the machine dropping 3 ft. at each blow with a weight of 410 lbs. During the demonstration on the Wanchai reclamation a 13 ft. pile was driven home in four minutes. the pile being approximately 10′′ in diameter.
