I remember seeing early versions of those in Popular Science magazines
from the 1950s, when the Great Building Boom was going on. No concrete
pumpers in those days, so any pours too far from the mixer truck had to
be moved by hand. A couple of those could probably replace a conga line
of 4-5 guys with manual wheelbarrows. (Anybody can handle a barrow or
two, but after 3 or 4, you are down to the hardcase laborers. Wet
concrete is heavy.)
