Howe

[ACPD227]

So I got my 1872-1972 A History of Howe booklet and found a couple of interesting bits.



Howe was still offering a piston pump as an option in 1972.


At that time they offered single stage, 2 stage (600psi max) and 3 stage (800psi max) centrifugal pumps.

 

Supposedly the last truck delivered wwith a piston pump went to Uniondale, IN on a Ih chassis. 




They also claim a couple of firsts


The first to combine a volume pump with a pto driven high pressure fog pump.



Howe introduced their top mount pump panel in 1966, and claim it to be the first available to the fire service.
