Quote:You can see the difference in the cabinets of the two Snorkel Squads (SS-2 on left, SS-1 at right).
I noticed that the compartments were different. If you have Walt McCall's "American Fire Engines since 1900", check out the pic on page 311. The same rig that is identified as SS-1 in your photo is seen there, lettered for SS-2. In Paul Barrett's book "Elevating Platforms", it is shown again, lettered for SS-1. I have also found pics of it, taken by Steve Reddick and lettered for SS-1. What I haven't located is a shot of the one with long compartment doors, lettered for SS-2 and posed by itself. If Steve posted one, I haven't found it.
