    Abstract: Wall members (1) of a partition wall which can be assembled by roller cross-heads (1a, 1b), along a main guide rail (3-3a) and branch rails (3b, 3c) of displaceable wall members (1) are displaced (A, B, C) by self-propelling trolleys (2, 2a, 2b) which move inside a continuous channel provided in or on the guide rails (3-3a, 3b, 3c).
