Question:

How were car undersides worked on before hydraulic lifts came about?

Back in the early 1900‘s to 1920‘s, before hydraulic lifts were used, how did mechanics and technicians work on the undersides of cars? My best guess is they just used ramps and drove the vehicles up on them to get at the undersides.The only other thing I can think they would do is maybe have an inground kinda work area that they would park the cars over to work on e.g. a big hole. ^_^I‘m just curious to hear what people have to say.
