- 1898, H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds, London: William Heinemann, page 178:About a couple of miles out lay an ironclad very low in the water, almost, to my brother's perception, like a water-logged ship. This was the ram Thunder Child.

- 1952 July, W. R. Watson, “Sankey Viaduct and Embankment”, in Railway Magazine, page 487:He describes the operation thus: "The heavy ram employed to impart the finishing strokes, hoisted up with double purchase and snail's pace to the summit of the Piling Engine, and then falling down like a thunderbolt on the head of the devoted timber, driving it perhaps a single half inch in to the stratum below, is well calculated to put to the test the virtue of patience, while it illustrates the old adage of—slow and sure."

(transitive) To strike (something) hard, especially with an implement. To build a sturdy fence, you have to ram the posts deep into the ground.
(transitive) To seat a cartridge, projectile, or propellant charge in the breech of a firearm by pushing or striking. After placing the cartridge in the musket, ram it down securely with the ramrod.
