i dont think people that used telegraphs or traveled on trains had a use for star drills. wasnt telegraphs around before they actually had real electricity anyway?

You're not getting it. People used star drills in the past because better technology, in this case electric hammer drills, didn't exists, was too expensive, or was too primitive to be useful.

I had a really old electrician work for me and he said the first job he had after he returned from the Korean was to install anchors in a concrete ceiling. He said that he would stand on a step ladder and pound on a star drill to set anchors for 8 hours a day. He would go home and couldn't raise his arms until the next day.
