Tower cranes ... can be either fixed or travelling. They consist basically of a latticed tower which supports a slewing mast and a jib at the top of the mast. The jib may be either a derricking jib or fixed and horizontal with a track for a movable load trolley at one end and a counterweight at the other. 2, record 1, English, - tower%20crane%2Dluffing%20jib

Cet appareil fut d'abord constitué de quatre pièces verticales qui étaient des sapines, assemblées entre elles, et au milieu desquelles un treuil élevait la charge. Très rapidement les sapines furent remplacées par des poteaux formés chacun de deux ou trois madriers boulonnés les uns contre les autres, qu'il était facile d'entrer, un par un, sur une certaine hauteur. On a fabriqué ensuite des sapines faites de grosses cornières de fer surmontées d'un treuil muni d'une flèche (...) 4, record 1, French, - sapine
