Dans l'Ancien Monde, c'est la «Société Anonyme des Carrières et de la Sucrerie P.J. Wincqz» qui conserve le rôle de leader. Elle suit ou précède les initiatives qui se font jour dans le Nouveau Monde. [...] Elle est la première à appliquer la révolution du «fil sécateur» ou «fil hélicoïdal» (le «fil à couper la pierre»). Elle érige des portiques mobiles pour faciliter la maîtrise de champs de blocs de plus en plus vastes. C'est l'origine des ponts roulants : La manutention en chantier se fait à l'aide de deux ponts roulants, l'un de vingt mètres de portée avec treuil à vapeur, pouvant lever 25 tonnes, l'autre de type funiculaire, de 13 mètres de portée, pouvant lever 50 tonnes [...] 2, record 1, French, - treuil%20%C3%A0%20vapeur

L'utilité des ballons sur le champ de bataille enfin reconnue, le nombre des compagnies d'aérostiers s'accroît pour atteindre 75 en mars 1916. Chaque corps d'armée français dispose désormais de sa compagnie. La stabilité du sphérique est mauvaise. Pour pallier ce défaut on développe dès 1914 un ballon allongé de 800 m³ semblable au ballon allemand. Pour améliorer son orientation dans le vent on lui attache une queue de godets, comme à un cerf-volant. On remplace le treuil à vapeur par un treuil automobile plus rapide pour ramener le câble et plus discret sur le champ de bataille. 3, record 1, French, - treuil%20%C3%A0%20vapeur
