The front bumper of the engine's carries 150 feet of 5 inch. Hydrants in Chicago are 300 feet, so in theory the engine is never more the 150 from a hydrant.

I thought the LDH was four inch, not fivve inch. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

[Jamie]

Yes, that is correct; Chicago uses 4-inch LDH.

I have this backward printed print in my collection, labeled

1974 Hendrickson/Morita 135'. Can anyone pass on some information about it?

was another apparatus builder involved?

Figured I'd flip it for ya. I believe Pierce had some involvement as well, as it looks like their name plate on the front.

Thanks Ed, I don't do much more than resize in Photoshop. I see the Pierce nameplate now, thanks

My notes say it was ex Truck 2, went to Truck 1 in 1974, then into reserve in 1980.

The Hendrickson was originally number for Truck 2 but was never used as Truck 2 as there wasn't enough Clearance for the Vehicle in Truck 2's old station.Truck 2 had been using a 1960 Mack Magirus 144 foot Aerial Ladder at the time and it was the intention of the CFD to replace the 1960 Mack Magirus "High Ladder" with the Hendrickson Pierce "High Ladder". It ended gong int service at Truck 1's house and Truck 1's American Lafrance 100 foot Rearmounted Aerial Ladder Truck was reassigned to Truck 2 instead.[/quote] Firepost.
