message: GEM is a 'Rope Shovel', not a dragline excavator. Compare the pictures of GEM  with the pictures in Steam Shovel
:Well-spotted. Details have been moved to steam shovel, replacing the information about Big Muskie which is a dragline!

message: Having been next to and even up in the cab of a large dragline while it was walking I would have to say that these pictures don't do it justice. I also feel that the picture of the pile driver is misleading since this really is not what draglines are primarily used for. The video that I linked to gives a good illustration of how draglines operate including the fact that slacking the drag rope allows the bucket to tip forward. I do have pictures with people in them that show the scale better. I have a picture with my foot on the main power cable, I have a good shot of the walking cam, and a fairly good shot of the tub. I think some more pictures would be better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brehmel (talk • contribs) 23:09, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree about the second picture. That appears to be a "crane" with a piledriver, no bucket is being "drag"ed. I am going to delete it.Sammy D III (talk) 13:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

message: In "History", should the paragraph "The Marion Steam ...1997." be changed to something like "The Marion Steam Shovel Dredge Company (established in 1880) built its first walking dragline with a simple single-crank mechanism in 1939. The company changed ...1997."? Should the next paragraph; "Bucyrus International supplied ...weight." be changed to something like "Bucyrus International entered the dragline market with the purchase of manufacturing rights for the Heyworth-Newman dragline excavator in 1910. Their "Class 14" dragline ...weight."? In both paragraphs the deleted text refers to shovels used in Panama, not draglines.Sammy D III (talk) 14:06, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
