The three boom articulating platform is rather interesting, I remember seeing it somewhere on another board. Was it the only one of it's kind built or something like that ?

Its a 90 foot Seagrave, second one built of its kind. Don't recall any being made after that. Here is the original advertisement.

IIRC the 90 Foot Articulating Platform was fabricated by the Daybrook-Ottawa Company of Bowling Green Ohio for Seagrave which at teh time IIRC was lacated in Columbus Ohio. I don't belive very many were built.

[Guest]

I belive that Kentlands Snorkle sustained damage in a accident with another PG County Snorkle or ladder truck... I think that it was mentioned on another board that that is what lead to this rigs dimise.

Hauppauge, LINY had a similar articulating boom

[Guest]

There were at least 5 of these 3-boom 90' models built. According to the book, "Elevating Platforms" by Paul Barrett, the booms were built by the Daybrook Div. of the Young Spring and Wire Co. of Bowling Green,OH. Kentland is credited with the 1st delivery in 1963, with other 63 models going to San Bernadino, Cal., and Hampton,VA. Melrose Park,ILL. got 1 in 1966, and Green Bay Wis. got an open cab on theirs in 1968.

Hauppauge, NY's is a 1971 Seagrave with a 1 of a kind boom built by a Canadian firm called Highway Trailer Ind.

Kentland's platform later served in Bath NY.

BTW, those are some nifty old photos, Mr. Bernadito!

Paul's book, I believe, has photos of 7 Seagrave/Daybrook-Youngs and the one-off for Hauppague, NY. The Green Bay rig has always been a mystery to me because I don't show it in my Seagrave database. The San Bernardino rig was actually ordered by LA City. Upon delivery, it was rejected and never placed in service, then purchased by SB.

And still later served a VA Hospital in that area.

Ok, correction on the above. The LA and SB rigs are not the same. I show 6 of these....



Here is what should be a complete list of the Seagrave/Daybrook-Youngs:



Kentland, MD 1963 K-Model 90' #N-2055

Los Angeles, CA 1963 K-Model 90' #N-2300 (rejected and never placed in service)

Hampton, VA 1963 K-Model 90' #N-2325

San Bernardino, CA 1964 K-Model 90' #N-5400

Melrose Park, MD 1966 K-Model 90' #P-5830

Ottawa, KS 1965 IHC 75' #P-6400



The Green Bay rig has always been a mystery to me. I don't show it in any of the Seagrave databases I have. I can't recall what happened to the rig LA rejected, but I'm fairly certain it didn't have semi-open cab, unless it was returned to Seagrave, who chopped the roof off and sold it to Green Bay.

[e290l103]

The Green Bay rig is the LA City rig.

I have a typed Seagrave delivery list, and it shows a hand written entry for Green Bay, chassis N2300, with a notation I can't read next to it.

further down the list is the listing of the LA City rigs, Chassis N2300 is listed there with a line thru it and a notation Green Bay.







I show 7 in my database. they are.

1963 N300 900-EAGLE Nashville, Tennessee TN 70' Elevating Platform Seagrave/Young Spring & Wire Corp.

1964 N2055 900KP-EAGLE Kentland, Maryland MD 90' Elevating Platform Seagrave/Young Spring & Wire Corp. Sold:Bath, NY

Great info on these Seagrave Elevating Platforms. I haven't heard much of them until now.



FWIW for some odd reason, LAFD did assign a shop # 60 to N-2300 before it was rejected.

[Guest]

LA City FD has a practice of assigning a department number to all apparatus at the time it is ordered. On the wall in the FD shop office is a large board listing of all LAFD apparatus on order along with the department number assigned to it. They started using the 60000 series of numbers (still being used today) in 1957.

[quote name='Lime Guy' post='151756' date='Sep 27 2007, 22:05 ']So why wouldn't Kentland want to run an ambo? Well,you can't make them provide a service they don't want to provide. Plus the education requirements and recertification requirements make it difficult to put forth the time and the money to be certified. Also when you are out running calls on the ambo all night, it sucks to have to go to work the next morning. The engine has much less calls and yes, Kentland is 100% volunteer.[/quote]



Are you kidding me with this thread, and this comment in particular? If you don't want to be up all night running calls so you're not tired for work, maybe you should consider a new hobby! And does it make you less tired if you're up all night on an engine? Why don't we stick to photos of apparatus on this site, and leave the political bs for other sites!

[Guest]

So I did see one or more of these when I was a small child. The Daybrook Company also made dump truck bodies and power company utility articulating platforms (Snorkels). Sadly the company went out of business in the early 70's.

[quote name='Lime Guy' post='151771' date='Sep 27 2007, 22:20 ']Last of the rescue engine. You may ask was anyone hurt while Kentland was penned in and the answer sadly was yes. It was an MVA w/ trap and ifthese guys could have responded MAYBE it would not have been a fatal.[/quote]



Someone was hurt while this rally was going on in Kentland's 1st due? Isnt there a duty to respond? I guess they can hope that persons family never finds out. Also, isnt this the department that was sabotaging other volunteer companies equipment while engaged in a structure fire? I think that I read about a lawsuit/arrest in firehouse not too long ago.

[Guest]

Kentland was in service and responding to calls during the rally. The Jet and one of the Pierces went on calls while I was there.
