The MIM-3 Nike Ajax was the world's first operational surface-to-air missile (SAM). Designed to intercept high-altitude aircraft, the vehicle consisted of a solid-propellant booster and a liquid-fueled upper stage. The first Nike Ajax flew at White Sands Proving Ground (now White Sands Missile Range), New Mexico in 1951 and was operational from 1954 to 1963. The more advanced Nike Hercules replaced the Ajax.

Launcher on loan from NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA
Length 34 feet, 10 inches (10.6 meters)
Diameter 12 inches (30.5 cm)
Weight 2,455 pounds (1,114 kg)
Range 30 miles (48 km)
Speed Mach 2.3 (1,710 mph/2,760 km/h @ 50,000 ft.)
Altitude Limit 70,000 feet (21,336 meters)
Fun Fact: The lower portion of the rocket, the Nike solid fuel booster 1st stage, provided 59,000 Ibs. (262.4 kn) of thrust for just 3 seconds. This short burst of thrust pushed the one ton missile up through the sound barrier

The Ajax Engineering Company of Southend on Sea, Essex, made little printing presses similar to the better-known Adana. This flatbed, with a chase size of 7 x 4.5 inches, must have been one of the smallest. It's light, portable, simple and not much good for printing with, but a pretty novelty.
Another old crawler crane from the Weldex crane graveyard in Fearn in 1997.
At the time Weldex cranes were second hand and bought in from main contractors; not sure where this one came from originally.
