From Mike Ott, Station 26
"This truck was originally ordered by the City of Baltimore for front line service. Due to numerous differences of opinions the vehicles were not kept in Baltimore City and returned to Seagrave where the company then manufactured tillered ladders for the City. The ladder was then kept in dry dock and loaned out to various departments who were Seagrave customers."
They bought it from Seagrave.
