Cranes and Jacks from Richard C. Gibbings and Co. Ltd.
The Cranes and Jacks.
As supplied by Richard C. Gibbings and Co. Ltd..

R.C. Gibbins of Berkley Street in Birmingham could supply the sturdy looking Pilot universal crane & jack as shown here being operated by a gent in the usual cloth cap. Judging by how clean his overalls are he is less of a greasemonkey and more of a hands-off mechanic. The engine crane would lift 7ft up from the ground and pull an engine of upto 30cwt in weight. Thats some lift. Cost was £66 ex works in 1950.
This is one of a number of retro 1940s and 1950s motoring advertisements that I've featured here on oldclassiccar.co.uk.
