Canadian Apparatus from the 1970's

[Ian Stronach]

In the 1970's I shot a lot of apparatus photos and thought I would share one of the more interesting ones.  There were only three Baker tower ladders delivered in Canada.  The bodywork was built by Thibault on the Mack CF chassis.  The first was delivered to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in 1976 as their Tower 2, pictured here in 1978.  The second went to St. John, New Brunswick, which I never saw.  The third went to Verdun, Quebec in 1977.
