The shop manual for my '48 says to mount the engine on the stand with the tranny attached. What kind of stand did they use?

I have the 1250 lb. stand with the U-shaped base and really like it. It's now holding three old outboards.
Engine Stand w/Mercs

And what did I do wrong with my signature????
