Here is a KD Girder Spanner, that is 7 & 1/2" in length. It has a patent number of 578649, which I assume is British, so I cannot find it. It opens to 1 & 3/4", and has a heavy feel to it. I'm wondering if this design was produced before, or after the typical KD adjustable? And, if it had a special application, such as car kit, etc.? Any Information appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne

Nice!! I like it...

Brits to the red phone, please!!

Call the royal lock smith!! Oh sorry, wrong movie... LOL 

this style is called the double channel,,and it was claimed to be indestructable, it came in 2 other sizes ,,3 & 1/4,,  4 & 3/4 and yours,,i  believe this to be a copy of the joseph lucas design which was around before king dick, so probably earlier than the other styles..the other more typical design came in 2 shapes almost identical,,(so dont think you got a set till you got 4 standard and 2 ideal),,there may be more sizes not in my book...of course then you have the auto adjustable style,,and later the crescent style.


most of this info comes from my 1947 catalogue,,so there may be more variants to add

I'd love to hear more about Queen Mary of England and her Rolls Royce!

Brutal.

I thought the Queen Mary was a hotel in Long Beach. Does it have a Rolls?
