Embankment machine (The War of the Worlds)
The Embankment machine (also known as the Digging machine) is one of the fictional machines used by the Martians in the H. G. Wells' classic science fiction novel ''The War of the Worlds''. It is an excavator, and is one of the four types of machine the Martians bring with them when they invade Earth, the three others being the fighting machine, the flying machine, and the handling machine.
==Description==
The embankment machine is featured only once in the novel in very little detail. Rather than describe its appearance, Well's mentions it in passing as an excavator used to widen the Cylinders landing pits. The novel's Narrator character further explains that the machine itself has no pilot or a form of cockpit, and that it appears to be a form of automaton.
When the Martians are on the move, the embankment machine is taken with them. When the novel's Narrator can safely emerge from the rubble of a ruined house he was trapped under for weeks after a Cylinder fell, the landing pit contains nothing but human remains from past Martian feedings.
