Hi Jim,
Not only did it take a little practice to keep everything in hand and under 
control, you did all this with the engine running.  My 1937 Chevrolet certainly 
did run better after I adjusted the valves.  I only wish I had had a timing 
light and didn't have to adjust timing by ear.

I agree witrh brent, in the US they would have been called 
tappet wrenches.  Long slender open end wreches.  It took 
three of these to make the addjustment, one for the jam nuts 
and one fro the tappet it's self.  Holding all three 
wrenches along with a feeler gauge took a lot of patience 
and dexterity.
