In a continuing spirit of gentle, fraternal correction and in a never ending effort to 'get-it-right' I submit the following update:
This is a 400 series ALF.
It's built on the Master series chassis and is the first to have the pump, controls, intake and discahrge mounted directly behind the engine and in front of the driver/officer. Introduced in 1935 it made use of a V-12 driving a 1000gpm pump. The production run lasted three years.
I have a copy of the ALF 400 Series Operating Manual if anyone out there is in need of a fix.
