That's affirmative on the self-levelling turntable...Montreal had two of them - originally Ladders 22 and 34. There were 4 hydraulic cylinders that could be manipulated to level the turntable from front to rear as well as side to side.



The 63 vintage is slightly off the mark - they were delivered in 1960 and went in service in early 1961 as I recall.

Regarding the self-leveling turntables, did'nt San Francisco run with a bunch of these?

The bottom shot is an International R-Series for Broome County Airport, Binghamton, NY. Will scan factory shots when time permits and post.

Here a couple of photos of the International R-Series/American LaFrance crash truck for Broome County Airport. Strange that when I shot it over 20 years after it was delivered, it still had the chains on!
