1930s garage fixtures
 

somewhere i read a book about Ford maintenance. in the initial chapters, reference was made, complete with nicely done line drawings, of fixtures which could be built to make the work easier.

obviously this was before consumer-culture and such things were not available down at the corner store. ramps, workbenches, and engine cradles, were among the pieces i remember.

anyone know which book, or of any book, illustrating these items in their period correct (pre-war) guise?

actually, any book showing how to set up a pre-war garage would be helpful.

thanks

Here's a picture from the 1926 KR Wilson Tools catalog. The initial pages of 1944 Ford V8 Engine Parts Reconditioning Manual also shows some illustrations for a shop. Here's a link to that manual:

could anyone identify the equipment here? i was able to get some, but as i started to go over the benches & unknown, there were more i could not!

i even zoomed 200% with no luck.

thanks (with hope!)
