funny. I thought the contract for aerials reads sole source. does it not anymore? those trucks you have are actually parts of 3 different companies. HME, Ferrara and Smeal.

sole source No such thing id say alf, Seagrave,and maybe pirsh when they made their own engines but not since they stopped that. If smeal builds the areial for Ferrara and sells them to only ferrarra under a ferrarra product line then its a ferrarra. Sole source is now only a term as to a warrenty 1 person or place to call with problems not like the eairly Pierce/smeal ladders when you called about a problem. Pierce would say call smeal and smeal would say call Pierce.
