I think I can safely say that if I were in that picture it would likely have been in diapers!!!

Anyway - great find!

The rig was actually a 1927 Mack AB5A city service truck. It was refurbished by Hahn - if the info is accurate - in 1935. The rig is pictured new in Harvey Eckart's Mack Fire Trucks on p.22.

The rig carried 8 ladders for a total length of 188' It also carried 400' of 2.5", 450' of 1.5", and 300' of 3/4" booster. I don't believe that it had a pump per se, however I think part of the Hahn refurb was removal of the original chemical tank and the installation of a booster pump. It did have a 100 gallon booster tank.

Thanks for posting the pics...

Mike
