A derrick is a lifting device composed at minimum of one guyed mast, as in a gin pole, which may be articulated over a load by adjusting its guys. Most derricks have at least two components, either a guyed mast or self-supporting tower, and a boom hinged at its base to provide articulation, as in a stiffleg derrick.
The most basic type of derrick is controlled by three or four lines connected to the top of the mast, which allow it both to move laterally and cant up and down. To lift a load, a separate line runs up and over the mast with a hook on its free end, as with a crane.
Forms of derricks are commonly found aboard ships and at docking facilities. Some large derricks are mounted on dedicated vessels, and known as floating derricks and sheerlegs.
The term derrick is also applied to the framework supporting a drilling apparatus in an oil rig.
The derrick derives its name from a type of gallows named after Thomas Derrick, an Elizabethan era English executioner.
There are various types of derrick based on how the tower or mast is set up and the use of boom:
Horst Tappert (26 May 1923 − 13 December 2008) was a German movie and television actor who played Inspector Stephan Derrick in the television drama Derrick.
Horst Tappert was born on 26 May 1923 in Elberfeld (now Wuppertal), Germany. His father was a civil servant. Following high school, Tappert was drafted into the German army in World War II and ended up as a prisoner of war. Like the later author of the Derrick series, Herbert Reinecker, Tappert joined the Waffen-SS. Initially a member of the SS-Flak-Ersatzabteilung (Arolsen), he was listed as a member of 3rd SS Division Totenkopf in March 1943. Following the war, he was hired as a bookkeeper at a theatre in Stendal, Germany, and became interested in acting. He took acting classes and gave his stage debut in Stendal, playing Dr. Stribel in Paul Helwig's Die Flitterwochen.
In the following years, he changed employers several times and, in 1956, started working at the Kammerspiele, Munich. An independent actor since 1967, he worked as an actor until he died.
Derrick is a German TV crime series produced between 1974 and 1998 about Detective Chief Inspector (Oberinspektor) Stephan Derrick (Horst Tappert) and his loyal assistant, Inspector (Kriminalhauptmeister) Harry Klein (Fritz Wepper), who solve murder cases in Munich and surroundings (with three unsolved cases in total). It was produced by Telenova Film und Fernsehproduktion in association with ZDF, ORF and SRG
On 2 May 2013 ZDF announced it would no longer carry reruns of the show, after it emerged that Tappert had been untruthful in discussing his service in the Waffen-SS in World War II.
All 281 60-minute episodes were written by veteran screenwriter Herbert Reinecker and produced by Helmut Ringelmann. As a rule, new Derrick episodes were broadcast on Friday night at 20:15. The series received enormous popularity and was aired in more than 100 countries worldwide.
The series' discontinuation in October 1998 came as Horst Tappert had reached the age limit he had set himself. Horst Tappert is the only German actor who has ever had fan clubs abroad including the Netherlands and France.
Fritz Wepper (born 17 August 1941, Munich, Germany) is a German film and television actor. He is best-known for his role as Inspector Harry Klein in the long-running crime series Derrick.
Fritz Wepper was born as the son of a lawyer who got missed as a soldier in Poland in 1945. He started his acting career in a production of Peter Pan at the age of eleven. He got his first important film role in Tischlein deck dich, a film adaption of the Brothers Grimm fairytale The Wishing Table. His breaktrough role was as a young soldier in Bernhard Wicki's anti-war film Die Brücke (1959) which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Wepper kept his popularity with German audiences into adulthood and appeared in several notable German films of the 1960s. In 1972 he played Fritz Wendel, a Jew passing as a Christian, in the Oscar-winning film version of Cabaret, opposite Liza Minnelli and Marisa Berenson.
His character Harry Klein, the assistant in the long-running crime series Derrick, became a cult figure all over the world. He played this role between 1974 and 1998 in 281 episodes of Derrick. Before playing Klein in Derrick he portrayed the same character on the popular television drama Der Kommissar (1969–1976) from the series' start until 1974 when he was transferred to Derrick. Harry Klein was replaced by his brother Erwin (played by Fritz Wepper's real-life brother Elmar Wepper). Fritz and Elmar Wepper appeared together in the television series Zwei Brüder (1994-2000), playing a pair of different brothers hunting criminals and solve difficult cases. Since 2002, Wepper plays the tricky Mayor Wolfgang Wöller in the immensely popular TV series Um Himmels Willen (with some 7.2 million views per episode).
Harold "Harry" Klein (25 December 1928 in Bethnal Green, London – 30 June 2010) was an English jazz saxophonist. As a session musician, he played on recordings by The Beatles.
Early in his career, Klein played with Nat Gonella in the late 1940s. He then played with Bill Le Sage and Kenny Baker before going on tour with Stan Kenton in 1956. Klein also worked with Stan Tracey for several years in the 1950s and 1960s. He also recorded with Tubby Hayes, Sammy Davis, Jr., Victor Feldman, Dudley Moore, and Champion Jack Dupree.
In the 1960s and 1970s Klein began working as a studio musician for English pop and rock bands. Klein played on The White Album, on the songs "Honey Pie" (clarinet) and "Savoy Truffle" (saxophone). He is also one of the four saxophonists (along with Ronnie Scott) who play on "Lady Madonna". Other credits include playing on records by Caravan.

FOLGE 36 - MORD IM TEE 91 "Aus allernächster Nähe erschossen, kein Gepäck, leere Taschen - Profiarbeit", kommentiert ebenso anerkennend wie resigniert Inspektor Klein das traurige Geschehen am Tatort. Gemeint ist der Mord an einem jungen Mann, der im Zielbahnhof München in einem Wagenabteil des TEE 91 entdeckt wurde. Zum Glück bleiben den Beamten des Erkennungsdienstes langwierige Ermittlungen um die Identität des Toten erspart. Oberinspektor Derrick nämlich erkennt in ihm einen flüchtigen Bekannten wieder, mit dem er gelegentlich in seinem Stammlokal zu einer gemeinsamen Schachpartie zusammengekommen war. Derrick kann sich daran erinnern, dass sich der junge Mann ihm gegenüber als Hobbymaler und freischaffender Journalist ausgegeben hatte. Die schnelle Identifizierung des Erschossenen br...
FOLGE 128 - DAS TÖDLICHE SCHWEIGEN Helga Södern, die späte Anruferin, schwebt offensichtlich in akuter Lebensgefahr! In panischer Todesangst wendet sich die junge Frau hilfesuchend an Oberinspektor Derrick. Als der Kripobeamte in ihrer Wohnung auftaucht, wirkt die noch vor wenigen Augenblicken so Verängstigte wieder völlig normal - von einer tödlichen Bedrohung könne keine Rede sein. Das zumindest behauptet ihr Freund Udo Hassler. Auch wenn Helga Södern seine Aussage bestätigt, so ist Derrick dennoch nicht gewillt, ihren Beteuerungen Glauben zu schenken. Schon am anderen Morgen fühlt sich Derrick in seinem Argwohn bestätigt, als er am Tatort eines Kapitalverbrechens erscheint. Maria Simka, eine Mittfünfzigerin, wurde ermordet - vermutlich durch Erwürgen. Ihr Sohn hatte die alleinstehende...
FOLGE 151 - ABSOLUTER WAHNSINN Derrick wird an den Tatort eines Mordes gerufen. Heinz Engler, der Anrufer, hat seine Frau Dagmar erwürgt aufgefunden. Am Tatort erleben Derrick und Klein eine Überraschung: Englerts Schwager Rudolf Schönhauser und dessen Frau Helga sind ebenfalls bei der Toten und bezichtigen Heinz Engler als Mörder. Dagmar Engler hätte die Schönhausers verzweifelt telefonisch um Hilfe gebeten, da sie sich von ihrem Mann bedroht fühlte. Doch Heinz Engler hat durch Susi Moll ein Alibi vorzuweisen...

FOLGE 107 - DIE SCHRECKEN DER NACHT Ein Münchner Stadtteil lebt in Angst und Schrecken - drei Mädchenmorde, und der Täter ist noch immer nicht gefasst! Jedes Mal waren es junge Frauen, die von hinten angefallen und erwürgt wurden. Erna Wilhelm, eine Studentin, war das letzte Opfer des unheimlichen Mörders. In einer U-Bahn-Station ist sie ihm gegen Mitternacht in die Hände gefallen. Zum Verdruss der Kripo sind die Ermittlungsergebnisse seit dem ersten Mord dürftig geblieben. Kommissar Ludwig, ein zwar geschätzter aber eigensinniger Kollege, kommt nicht voran. Nur widerstrebend findet er sich damit ab, dass ihn Inspektor Klein unterstützen soll. Gegen dessen Idee, die attraktive Kollegin Carla Meissner als "Lockvogel" einzusetzen, hat er tausend Einwände. Darsteller: Horst Tappert (Stepha...
FOLGE 79 - DER KANAL Ein Pkw, quer zur Straße gestellt, versperrt den schmalen Weg über die Kanalbrücke. Offene Türen, brennendes Licht und Schlüssel im Zündschloß. Verschiedene Fußspuren, die vom Auto ans Kanalufer führen. Doch weit und breit keine Menschenseele. Noch in derselben Nacht gelingt es der Polizei, die Leiche eines Mannes aus dem Isarkanal zu bergen. Seine Papiere weisen ihn als Herbert Junker aus, verheiratet und wohnhaft in München. Er ist der Besitzer des verlassenen Wagens. Erste Anhaltspunkte, die auf ein Verbrechen hindeuten, entnimmt Oberinspektor Derrick den Aussagen von Rudolf Tibold, dem Wirt eines in der Nähe gelegenen Landgasthauses. Für ihn war der junge Mann aus München kein Unbekannter. Ziemlich oft, aber doch in unregelmäßigen Abständen, traf er sich hier in ...
