ALSD (Apollo Lunar Surface Drill)

I am at Washington DC, nation’s capital!

One of the purpose to visit here, I would like to see ALSD! I straight to visit National Air & Space Museum. They drilled lunar surface about 10 feet using electric 456W power drill. it similar to use today but much smaller power to drill!! Here is real one. Unfortunately, I could not touch (even far to see) this module.
