When the Hammer Drill was a "Who" not a "What"

I'm always amazed at how work got done back in the day. I can't imagine drilling rock by hand with hammers. Nowadays we just grab our electric hammer drill with a carbide tipped bit and the job is quickly done. Concrete turns to butter using modern tools. For the big jobs, a pneumatic hammer drills gets even more done by turning, vibrating, and blowing material from the drilled hole all using compressed air.
