Pat, that unknown Maxim tiller ladder you have pictured there looks to be the former Wakefield tiller which was sold to Chelsea and then disposed of. Thats a pretty sad ending to what was once a great piece of equipment if indeed it is the piece I think it is. Could be wrong though.

That tiller is located behind the fence of harbor auto on the lynnway just down the street from the commercial street lights and I don't really know much about the old Wakefield Ladder but after looking at pictures of that tiller in service it looked identical to the one in the scrap yard. Lot of the markings are the same.
