A drive device for erosion tools, having a drive shaft, an electrode holder connected to the drive shaft, an axial drive which works on the drive shaft, a rotational drive which works on the drive shaft as a direct drive in a contactless manner, and a radial bearing. The bottom of the thickened section is exposed through the insulation housing for easy connection to a d-c heat sink rail. The compressed data packets are decompressed and decoded, producing PCM data that are converted to an analog signal that drives a headphone of the intended recipient. The film frame or clip is secured in an envelope or packet of non-bleed, non-yellowing transparent polyester plastic which is mounted to one inner face of the ticket panels. A die from each hollow barrel is deposited onto the second surface until the stack of dies contained by each hollow barrel is substantially depleted. The housing has a coupling structure that receives the spherical ball socket for allowing rotation of the spherical ball socket relative to the housing.
