Very nicely done, and shown, Ralph! :thumbup: :clap: :clap:
The first, and probably the last time, I saw those types of jacks was around 1960.
They were being used by the maintenance crew, where I was a young apprentice.......
I watched them carefully, jack a long, 60'+(?), centre lathe, onto skate blocks. And, gently move it down the shop to the doorway.
The crane/ transport crew, slung it at either end, and started to lift it onto the transporter.
With a loud bang. The bed broke in two! :palm:

Thanks Gents.
I've started a new project - need to build some wheels, and I lack the experience to do a good job,
so I'll practice some.
I am building metal wheel to resemble old farm implement wheels and used a section of brass plumbing pipe for the rims.
Ralph
The hubs were turned and drilled to accommodate 1/16 inch spokes.
A device was developed to help ensure that the wheels and hubs were true when the spokes were inserted.

A nice, true wheel resulted. I may have finally figured out how to build one.
and then another
Two more and we will have a set for some four wheeled contraption. Ralph

Cheers Mick.
