This probably isn't exactly what you want, but maybe it will help.

Quote:
In October 1928 the A-17080-A jack, made by Walker and by Ajax, was introduced. It was similar in design to the earlier type, except it did not have the top extension. The Walker and Ajax versions were nearly identical except for the shape of the bases. The Ajax jack had square corners on the base, while the Walker was rounded. Both jacks were 9 ½” high and used a new handle (A-17081-A) made of ¼” x 7/8” flat steel, 20” long with a quarter twist 3-7/8” from the handle end and a tire tool on the opposite end. This jack was used thru November 1929.

The original ratchet type jacks are unsafe. There was one fatality I know of where an AJAX jack collapsed while a Model A'er was under the car.

I would believe that, the ratchet is not very good and a jar would make it slip

I have one, but it is for display purposes only. I carry a modern scissors jack in the car.
