           front. It takes a variety of meanings, according to the
           objects by which it is followed; as, to drive an
           engine, to direct and regulate its motions; to drive
           logs, to keep them in the current of a river and direct
           them in their course; to drive feathers or down, to
           place them in a machine, which, by a current of air,
           drives off the lightest to one end, and collects them

           --Shak.
