# 64.



Here is another photo of Station 7 as it appeared in the '70s.

My memory isn't great, but I think when this picture was taken the 1947 Ahrens-Fox was in the left side bay as a spare, but it wouldn't start to get  out for a photo.

The 1977 mack CF for no7 was acquired in 1979
Therefor the pic may not actually be from the 70s since during the 70s except 1979 no7 ran with a seagrave anniversary open cab 750 gpm circa 1957 era.

# 36 C.


This is a repost of photo # 36 B. It is the left side of Engine # 12,1933 Seagrave,1000 GPM.

Although it is darker you should be able to clearly see the 12 on the hood.

I am of the opinion that no12 was an older style seagrave than at lesat the 1933 ladder 3-- and possibly the nos 2 and 6 pumpers also 1933 seagraves. First I recall reading that the no12 was added to the purchase or possibly a lone purchase in 1934 of an available [surplus] truck. I offer as  evidence the data I have linked at the end of this post which states that the 1933 no3 ladder at yfd was built with the new G-series motor which can be discerned by the perforations on the sides of the engine compartment-the built-in perforations on the newer G-series motor are on 2 separate levels- the first running along the lower side about half way down the exterior of the engine compartment and the other positioned on a higher level than the previous running the balance of the distance to the near front of the engine compartment identically on both sides.
The no12 pictured here does not have the new G-series motor as described but is built with the older F-series motor wherein the perforations in the engine compartment on either side for air circulation are on one level instead of on two as in the new G-series motor. Consequently the available facts suggest that the Vincicator article back in 1933 or 1934 was correct that the no12 pump was and add-on or a separate purchase from the other 1933s and hence an older style motor and having been built as a surplus or rejected from another delivery.
