From ebay pics:
Height of jack stand appears equal to max of jack. Therefore stand is placed under frame, not under control arm???

Mite b something we'd have to try before critcizing it. Somtimes the most ridiculous ideas work the best. It's all in testing.

As a side note, not even the Russians copied the "rim jack". At least not for the ZIS (picture attached). The Soviet "Victory" and "Volga" used this system but not for the rims.

If one checks the 1937-42 installment of this site's Service Index, they will find a topic regarding the "Use of Jack", under the Wheels & Tires section. The article is rather vague, mainly emphasizing the need to familiarize owners with (then) current model equipment, but it does include a basic illustration (copy attached below).
This shows placement of the jack under either the snout of the hub or at the top of the wheel rim. The jack stand is shown under the knuckle support, at front, or the leaf spring unit (below the axle tube), at rear. Yet, there seems to be some difference between the style of this jack compared to the one in the auction images. Perhaps there was a change in design from 41 to 42, then, but without a change in general use. While the 35-41 parts book (under Gr. 16.000, Tools) shows a jack stand for all 19th Series chassis, EXCEPT Clipper (1951), the 41-47 Clipper parts book shows no such equipment. Unfortunately, we (still) do not have a a scan parts book for 20th Series non-Clipper chassis in the archive, here. As a result, I have refined the Service Index entry to further clarify the subject and applications. Since I've never seen one of these jacks up close and personal, I couldn't render full judgement without inspection of the full details of the tongue. Otherwise, it seems no less safe than a common bumper jack. I do, however, see one benefit of using this system; you wouldn't have to jack the vehicle up nearly as high, since it keeps the spring loaded. Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Thanks Brian, knowledgeable as ever.
The axle journal is round, revolvable, seamless and even conical. It offers no positive-lock securing for this jack. After lifting the car some few inches of the ground the contact area is reduced to a small canted iron/iron edge. Not to mention the dust cup. And a grease film. And a soft shoulder or dirt lane. And the long-necked monopod. Quote: Would you use this? No. Not this way. [picture source: http://www.regresspress.com] Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
