Explanation:
Zastanawiam się, czy to nie chodzi o coś takiego. Wiem, że ten termin odnosi się głównie do urządzeń na statkach i czasami na kolei, ale po przeczytaniu pytania askera przed oczami stanęła mi scena z Conana Barbarzyńcy, w której Conan z dzieciaka staje się napompowanym facetem właśnie przy pomocy takiego urządzenia.
