Here is what the Band Wagon originally looked like.
This rig was delivered in 1929. LAFD got a break on price by accepting the chemical tank. By "now" all the chemical tanks were being converted to water and a 75 gpm Oberdorffer rotary gear pump that operated off the drive shaft was added.
The hammered end 70 gal tank came from the factory and was originally installed on the Seagrave Triple's.
Eventually 165 gal. painted tanks would replace both the chemical and hammered end tanks.
