The head of an impact sprinkler, a type of irrigation sprinkler in which the sprinkler head, driven in a circular motion by the force of the outgoing water, pivots on a bearing on top of its threaded attachment nut. Invented in 1935 by Orton Englehardt, it quickly found widespread use.Photograph: JJ Harrison

editJust No. I rewrote the operation description according to what the patent document describes, and what is clearly visible in videos.
An additional description of the part-circle return-mechanism would be nice to have.
I also replaced the link to the slow-motion video with a better one.
