Frank- additional info:
U.S.Fire Apparatus built this 1942 Autocar 750/500 for the Wissahickon FC-Ambler (Montgomery Co.),PA. It was built in Wilmington,DE. Chief Jake Yost designed the manifold system seen on the officer's side of the photo. It was dubbed the "Yost Special". The manifold allowed up to 7 discharges at the same time. This would permit up to 15 to 20 separate hand lines to be utiilized. In 1962 it was traded in to Hahn Motors who re-sold it to Laury's Station (Lehigh Co.),PA.
