Wooden Magirus ladder, probably 85 feet as this was around the longest one available - as wood ladders were a lot heavier than the later all steel variants.

Magirus was the first firm to introduce steel turntable ladders in 1932, rapidly followed by Metz, Merryweather, Riffauld, Geesink and others.
