Ok, my turn to add to this topic. This is a 1929 ALF/Hale hydraulic water twoer that is now owned our club the Indianapolis Fire Buffs. When I took these shots, I had the settings wrong on my camera and therefore, they are a tad bit blurred. This is the former IFD WT13 that was in service until 1969 when it was replace with a '69 Maxim/Pierce 85' Snorkel.
