Derricks on the steel frame of a building

Against the sky rises the steel skeleton of a large building under construction; on its top stand several derricks with tall lattice booms and a forest of columns awaiting the next floor, and a load hangs from a wire rope beside a water tank on a neighbouring roof. Wire rope carried the loads on every such building site.
