Gui-derricks and stiff-leg-derricks were contrived or improved mainly in north country. On the other hand, in south country, travelling cranes were devised with whole timber scaffold.

As the summary of this series of papers, the following are concluded. Mechanization took place in stoneworking, wood-working and brick manufacturing, and the spread of wood-working machinery was conspicuous.
