I've always assumed it was some sort of major-league mining equipment -- perhaps an overgrown pile driver.
There's a "drag-mining" machine that stands a few dozen stories tall and walks on gargantuan pneumatic feet. Saw it on cable teevee last night. It looks more like an oil rig than a tower. Finally, Dan Parmenter writes

I found a copy of Plan[e]t Engineering via Bibliofind a few months ago, and it was fairly cheap. If you're not familiar with Bibliofind, it is a database of many rare and used book stores. When you search you're searching, and ordering online from, many stores. They also take want lists. Bibliofind is at www.bibliofind.com There are two other similar services: Interloc at www.interloc.com and ABE at www.abebooks.com. Michael Bowman bvmi at odin.cc.pdx.edu
