  • The handling-machine is a machine created by the Martians and used during their invasion of earth. It is crab-like in appearance, with 6 legs and claws. It is small in stature compared to the tripods. In the book it's main funtion is to construct and disassemble things. According to the Martian Technology Report: The machine itself resembles nothing so much as a large, metallic crab, flat and broad across the top of the carapace, with the Martian operator residing in a hood on top of the machine, from where it works a complex series of levers to activate the assortment of devices attached to the machine. The six articulated legs are activated by the sham musculature previously described. The various arms, tentacles, levers and instruments show a very high precision in engineering and control, allowing the Martians to handle even the most delicate items quite safely. Appendages which are not being used are retracted into the main body of the machine, in order to avoid encumbering the operation of the active devices.
