Early quarrying was an arduous task. Workers relied upon hand drills, black powder and brute force to wrest the granite from the earth. In the 1870s, the introd...uction of steam-powered drills and derricks improved the efficiency of the extraction process. Continual refinements in machinery eased somewhat the burden of the quarriers. Although air-driven (pneumatic) equipment was first utilized for finishing granite in Barre granite sheds as early as 1892, it was not until 1903 that the first pneumatic plug drills were used in the Barre quarries; and many steam-driven drills operated in the Barre quarries until the 1920s.
