Update 4/6/07: The answer is ... nutcracker!
Nutcracker, placed on the knee when seated, a nut is set in the hole and then struck with a hammer. In the winter, these were warmed by the fire before using.

I mentioned this story to a friend of mine a few years ago. He is a scientist with Dynetics Corp. (worked on the M.O.A.B project, he was very stressed during those 3 months) and was currently working on an independent target acquisition system for individual bomblets.
His immediate response was to consider what system he would use to tackle the problem. I was certain I would see a new dog door next time I visited his house.
