Since I have a photo of myself standing on the bumper of this rig circa 1966, I feel qualified to chime in on this one (photo taken at Chester County, PA's Fire School behind the Thorndale Fire Company, while my Grandfather taught the Pump class), It is a 750gpm Type 85. However, it was very common for L-85 Macks delivered to Philadelphia area Fire Companies to have four 2.5" discharges, usually as a "no extra cost" incentive by the local Mack salesman to seal the deal. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Very good comment. This is why the pump size can be misleading sometimes (by the discharges)
I was thinking of this when I seen the L-85 L-95 comment. I did not hear this information before.
