DEFINITION

Classification: 175/321

(under subclass 320) Apparatus in which separate sections of tool shafting cooperate with one another so as to be slidably extensible or collapsible (e.g., one section slidable within a second section) and including below ground tool advancing devices such as fluid operated expansible chamber feed means.
