Bill - Jeff,
You are most correct on the jack ressembling the bottle type jack with
the long handle with it. It was me you send the photo to bill along with

that the file was destroyed by a virus of some sort... (Like that rhyme)..
I do recall the photo and remember it being the bottle type jack...
