  Mallet locomotive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A typical European Mallet type, a narrow gauge 0-4-4-2 tank locomotive for a mountain railway (in this case, the RhB in Switzerland).
Mallet's original design was a compound locomotive, in which the steam is used twice, first in a set of high-pressure cylinders, and then in a set of low-pressure cylinders.
Mallet's original design was intended to allow a medium-size locomotive to better negotiate the tight curves of a narrow gauge railway, but the Mallet design grew to enormous size in the United States, where it was used to permit locomotives to be built to sizes impossible with a single, rigid frame.

 Mallet Selection
Given the fact that it is the head of the mallet that (except for certain extended techniques) will be coming into contact with the bars of an instrument, the design and materials of a mallet head will have a siginificant effect on the sound that is produced.
The sound of the mallets, along with the player's comfort in using those mallets, should be the deciding factor in their choices; not brand names, advertising, or the fact that certain famous players may use that particular mallet.
Mallet choice is a highly subjective issue, and the mallets which may be the "perfect" choice for one player, may be quite inappropriate for another.

Mallet finger describes the condition when the skin remains closed and the extensor tendon is either forcibly stretched or avulsed from the distal phalanx.
