Tillered "engine"

[johndanger]

Many years ago, there was a concept tried on the west coast by a couple FD's involving tractor-trailer combination rigs.  I don't recall all the details, but there were a couple articles I read in trade journals at the time.  Both tractor and trailer had a pump, one for attack, the other for supply.  There was no "tiller"; no second driver was needed.  I'm not sure if this is what you were hearing about or not.

 

That sounds pretty close to what he said. The guy who said it wasn't the type to speak about things without confirmation. I've wondered about this for years and could never find any information. Thanks so much.
