VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The black-and-white image captures an R&R Petrol-Electric Mobile Crane towering over a group of workers at an unspecified aerodrome. This historical photograph illustrates industrial might with over 80 units being used across various countries as stated by the text above it. The crane's robust structure exemplifies mid-20th-century mechanical innovation designed specifically for handling aircrafts—a testament to post-war technological advancement and global infrastructure development efforts. Produced by Ransomes & Rapier Ltd., this machinery was celebrated for its patented variable speed control system and self-adjusting solenoid brakes that provided precise movement—an indispensable asset during an era when aviation was rapidly expanding.
