Only two of them were ever made, and both of them were apparently sold somehow to the Norwich Twp FD of Hilliard, Ohio. Belmont bought this one used a few years ago and the Sutphen Corporation bought the other one back from Norwich Twp. Instead of levers on the pump panel, it was all switches which operate air-actuated valves on the discharges and the pump. This is all info from the guys at the FD that pulled the rigs out for us.

As the towers plant is located in Hilliard and the main plant is in the next township north, Norwich has always been a good Sutphen sounding board. I was there the other day and they had just picked up their latest - a pumper disguised as a heavy rescue.

Not on this trip. There was another one in that station, but it was dead. The others are located at all volunteer stations.

Now OOS, about to be sold, and unable to be moved outside due to mechanical issues. Shoot it now or forever hold your peace! This is better than no shot at all in my eyes...
The replacement, a Pierce Contender, should be in sometime soon...
