power-driven

Officials began their investigation months ago and obtained “clear evidence” of labor violations in January, when they observed a child operating a power-driven hoisting apparatus, which is prohibited for workers under the age of 18.

A Southern California poultry processor illegally employed children as young as 14 to debone meat with sharp knives and move pallets with power-driven lifts, the Labor Department said.

He quit his day job, filed his first patent for a “power-driven aquatic vehicle” and started shopping his invention to manufacturers.

And the same goes for Japan, living in the shadow of China and North Korea: Perhaps it is simply unrealistic to expect it to survive as a pacifist bastion in a rivalrous, power-driven world.

Because they have a motor on them, they are power-driven vessels and must be registered by their owners and follow other basic federal regulations.
