Abstract

A fluid operated drill is supported upon a boom, which is in turn supported upon a mechanism for moving the boom to different positions, the mechanism being rotatable about a central axis with respect to a relatively stationary frame. A fluid collector means is provided including circumferential grooves communicating with channels for conducting operating fluids from the frame to the positioning mechanism and the fluid operated drill.
