Trip-hammer, or Frontal Helve, differs from the Tilt-hammer in that the lever, instead of being raised by depressing the tail, is lifted by projections or wipers which act by lifting the head about twenty inches. The trip is especially for shingling, and is made more massive than the tilt. See TILT-HAMMER.
