Great, great photos of how PBF once was before the bean counters entered the picture. Couple of questions:



Was there ever 52 Engine Co.'s in the PBF? I ask because of the company designations or was that a reserve designation?



And was or is there a difference between "Engine" and "Pumper"? Maybe a 2 piece Engine Co.?



Thanks in advance.
