No way!
Boght Corner NY 1966 Hahn was refirbed by SPI.
Can anyone fill me in on who SPI is?[/quote]
SPI was Steeldraulics in Rouzerville (Waynesboro), PA. They turned out fire apparatus for such diverse communities as South Bend, IN, Knoxville, TN, San Francisco, and Washington, DC in the 1980’s. I believe Grumman bought what became their Aerial Cat from Steeldraulics. SPI did a lot of refurbishment and finished some Pirsch apparatus at that company’s end. I used to do a day trip with the kids and swing by their plant. I was surprised such a small operation turned out apparatus for major cities. They folded in the late 80’s.
