Ancient Derrjeks.

Probably the oldest derricks still in
use are the two built at Trier, in Ger
many, in the year 1413 and the one
built in 1854 at Andernach, also in Ger
many. All these three derricks are
built on the same principle. In the
middle of a massive A frame tower is
located the swinging or main boom,
20 by 20 inches, whose iron pivot
moves in a pan shaped bearing cup.
On top are Gastened the guy ropes and
the cap, which is also movable. The
derrick can be moved by crossbars
fastened to the main boom. The load
is chain lifted by tread wheels sixteen
feet in diameter
