shapes: a straight pipe for 500 gpm capacity and a
"gullwing" pipe which can be used for either 500 or
750 gpm capacity. Pumps using the straight pipe are
designated "CGS," and those with the gull-wing are
designated "CGG." The CGS pumps use V-bolts to
secure the crosspipe to the frame, and a gear-case trun-
nion for three-point mounting. The CGG pumps have
drilled pads integral with the cross pipe for mounting
on the chassis frame (or on angle brackets attached to
the frame).

There's a Waterous Fire Pump to Fit Practically
Any Engine or Drive
Waterous "Customized" design means that any
Waterous pump, with a variety of fittings, accessories
and components, will fit any Waterous gear case with
many different ratios. Impeller shafts are supported
exclusively by oil or grease lubricated ball bearings;
gears are helical. The result is that Waterous gives you
the widest choice of pump features to choose from.
The chart illustrates how the different Waterous
standard components fit together. You will notice
pumps in 1, 2, 3, or 4-stage design; in capacities
ranging from 30 t'o 1500 GPM; with pressure up to
1000 psi; in four styles of gear cases with a wide
range of ratios. You can specify front, midship, rear
or separate engine mounting.
Pumps may be driven with a split-shaft gear case for
standard midship mounting; 2-gear gear case for
front mounting driven by an over-center, single-plate,
dry automotive-type clutch; a standard two-gear
case for PTO driven pumps; or a Bell Housing
mounted gear case for separate engine driven pumps.

Waterous Dependable Accessories
At Waterous we are continually evaluating and seeking
new ways to improve our product design. We are con-
stantly seeking newer and better materials. We are ever
striving to improve our production skills and craftsman-
ship. But there is one thing we haven't changed-that
unmatched Waterous Dependability. Every Waterous
Fire Pump Accessory is the result of this effort to improve
our product until it works with the highest efficiency,
greatest dependability. . . Waterous Dependability.
three proven systems for highest
priming efficiency
All three Waterous I{otary Gear Priming Pumps are designed
to provide the best combination of vacuum capability and high
displacement for fast, positive, dependable priming. All three
pumps, anyone of which can be mounted on the fire pump
gear case to give the shortest and most reliable connections,
are designed to operate smoothly and efficiently-unaffected
by engine vacuum.
Principal operating parts are fabricated of corrosion-resistant
bronze and stainless steel for a lifetime of dependability.
MODEL HHEM 281-Designed primarily for use with Waterous
Midship Pumps, this priming pump offers the unmatched de-
pendability of two completely separate drives. Either electric
or gear drive may be used, each independent of the other. If the
electric drive is being used, the priming pump may be operated
before the main pump is started. Either the fully-automatic,
solenoid-actuated valve or the manual-electric priming valve
may be used. This pump is designed to fit all Waterous Midship
Pumps with "M" Series split shaft gear cases.
FULLY AUTOMATIC PRIMING VALVE-By simply pushing a
panel-mounted switch, this valve is opened. It automatically
and simultaneously starts and stops the priming pump. This
valve may be used with the Model HHEM 281 manual-electric
priming pump or the Model HHE 281 electric pump. This,
like all Waterous Priming Valves, has a fine-grain bronze
body and stainless steel plunger and is machined to extremely
close tolerances.
MODEL HHE 281-This priming pump is driven by an electric
motor. Working independently of the main pump, the Model
HHE 281 Priming Pump eliminates shifting of main pump gears
and can be used with any make or model of centrifugal fire
pump. It can be used with either the fully automatic priming
valve described above or the manual-electric priming valve
described below. When used with the fully automatic, solenoid-
actuated priming valve it is possible to prime the main fire pump
simply by pushing a panel-mounted switch. This opens the
priming valve and starts the priming motor. When used with
the manual-electric priming valve a push-pull control at the
panel opens the valve and at the same time switches on the
current to the electric priming motor.
MANUAL-ELECTRIC PRIMING VALVE-The panel mounted push-
pull control for this valve incorporates the priming motor control
switch. This one control manually opens the priming valve
while simultaneously engaging the switch to start the priming
pump. The manual-electric priming valve can be used with
either the HHE 281 or the HHEM 281 priming pump.
MODEL HHM 281-Where mechanical operation is preferred, the
Model HHM 281 provides fast, simple and dependable priming.
It is gear driven from the main pump gear case. A manual shift
engages or disengages the priming pump drive gear. This prim-
ing pump, designed for Waterous Midship Pumps with split-
shaft gear cases, uses a manually-operated priming valve.
MANUAL PRIMING VALVE-Used on installations where mechan-
ical operation is preferred, this valve is designed primarily for
use with the Waterous Model HHM 281 gear drive priming
pump. It is activated with a simple push-pull control on the
operator's panel.
PRIMING OIL TANK-Designed to be used with any of the
Waterous Priming Pumps (see schematic). This rugged tank
is cast iron with 30,000 psi tensile strength and has a one-
gallon capacity. Oil from the priming tank not only lubricates
pump rotors and other moving parts but provides an air-
tight seal in the pump chamber.

fully-automatic relief valve-
another great advance in
fire protection from Waterous
Waterous Fully-Automatic Relief Valve, sensitive and
dependable, provides the ultimate in pressure regulation.
Combines exclusive, hydraulic cutout with automatic
pressure control. It provides the sensitive control of
discharge pressure, within a few pounds, that protects
personnel from sudden pressure shock. Will control pres-
sures up to 300 psi. And it can be put into or taken out
of operation without disturbing pressure settings. Panel
mounted, adjustable pilot valve controls relief valve
operation. Relief valve enables pump to maintain con-
stant pressure by keeping a uniform load on the engine.
The Waterous Relief Valve can also be furnished with
panel-mounted indicator lights; an amber one, to let the
operator know when the relief valve is open, and a green
one when it is closed. This is a definite aid to accurate
relief valve setting.
-
WTOMATIC PRESSURE SENSITIVE GOVERNOR
The Waterous Pressure Regulator is also designed to
maintain pump discharge pressure constant at any level
up to 300 psi. Through linkage to the engine throttle lever
it controls engine speed to regulate pump pressure. Ex-
ceptionally dependable, the regulator can be deactivated
so that engine can be eontrolled with hand throttle to
give pressures above 300 psi. . . or any other attainable
pressure without disturbing the setting.
POSITIVE CONTROL mSCHARGE VALVES
These Waterous Ball Type Discharge and Suction Valves
are available for either push-pull or quarter-turn opera-
tion. They can be mounted on any pump. Incorporated
into the design is a hydraulically balanced self-adjusting
seal assembly that positively prevents leakage, even under
high pressure or high vacuum. Main seal ahead of valve
mechanism eliminates possible stem leakage while prim-
ing. It requires no shim:; or adjustments .and is designed
to permit easy operation under any pump pressure.
Waterous Push-Pull Valve Control consists of a sliding
rack which engages a sector gear connected to the valve
stem. This provides constant-radius leverage for extra-
easy operation of valves whether they are mounted direct-
ly behind the panel or remotely located. A simple twist
of the panel-mounted "'r" handle firmly locks the valve
in any position regardless of discharge pressure.
Waterous Quarter-Turn Valve Control is unique in that
it can be positively locked or unlocked, in any position,
-'limply by raising or pressing on the control arm. Since
no twisting or turning is necessary, hand grip will not
slip, even with wet gloves or mitts.

,^,ATEROUS
SIMPLE, SAFE I)UMP DRAIN
The Waterous Manif)ld Drain Valve is designed to drain as many as
eight points on any purr p, simultaneously. Single, panel-mounted, push-
pull control makes 'after-operation' draining easier, faster and safer.
Prevents danger of costly freeze-up that might result from one forgotten
drain point. Pump prirr jng is also speeded. One control closes all drain
points. This simple, rugged valve may be used with any fire pump. Its
stainless steel stem and ~recision ground, stainless steel plunger operates
in a fine-grain, corrosion-resistant bronze valve body.
FACTORY -MOUI~TED BRAKES
No matter what the operating conditions, the Bendix Duo-Duty
Brake locks and securEly holds the truck in position without affecting
pump action. Designed and positioned to act on the coupling shaft at
the rear of the pump, this brake serves two purposes: It keeps trucks
absolutely stationary, on any grade, while pumping. It has enough torque
and thermal capacity tll serve as a dependable emergency brake at road
speeds. Since the brake is set by a floor type lever, it stays permanently
locked until released. :~o pumping of brake pedal, no adjustment of
pressure is required. Brakes are available in two sizes: 9" x 3" which
will handle GVW up t) 24,000 pounds; 12" x 5" suitable for GVW up
to 45,800 pounds.
FAST, IN-CAB SHIFTING
Greater speed, safet~' and vastly simplified operation of shifting from
"road-to-pump" is possible with the Waterous Electro-Matic Shift.
The switch, located 03 the instrument panel, can be quickly flipped
without leaving the dtiver's seat. Convenient, fast and dependable, it
means important secor,ds saved getting the pump into action. A spring
loaded safety-guard o,er the switch lever prevents accidental shifting.
This automatic, positive shifting eliminates the need for complicated
mechanical controllin:rages. These same electric shift units have been
used and proven depe3dable in hundreds of thousands of automotive
applications.
WATEROUS ELECTRO-MATIC TRANSFER VALVE
Used on 2-stage o~ 3-stage pumps, the Waterous Electro-Matic
Valve provides the ultimate in versatility. This valve is controlled by
a panel-mounted switeh which allows simple, rapid 'Volume' (parallel)
or 'Pressure' (series) sdection. Designed to provide fast, smooth opera-
tion, the Waterous Electro-Matic Transfer Valve control prevents
sudden and dangerous pressure surges. Control operates independently
of engine speed at any Underwriters' pump pressure. Amber or green
lights on pumper pam,l indicate 'Pressure' or 'Volume' valve positions.
Waterous has designed this transfer valve to give greater convenience
and speed in meetiIlg the sudden demands for increased volume
or pressure.

BOOSTER WATER TANK EQUIPMENT
1000 U.S. Gallon capacity, tank is constructed of steel;
bottom 10 gauge, sides and ends 10 gauge, top and baffles
10 gauge material. The tank is baffled transversely and longitud-
inally to eliminate excessive swash and maintain road stability. The
interior of the tank is coated to form a definite bond with the tank
metal. The tank is equipped with a 411 non-syphoning safety vent and
overflow to protect the tank from excessive pressure when the tank
is being filled directly from the pump or hydrant. The overflow is
arranged in such a way that the traction of the rear wheels is not
affected. The vent is of ample size to prevent vacuum damage to the
tank unde~r all booster pumping operations. The suction line shall be
of adequate size to permit proper flow from tank to pump in accordance
with Pamphlet No. 19. An anti-swirl baffle is positioned over the
suction line outlet in the tank. A tank filler is provided with a
strainer, enabling the tank to be filled with a hoseline. The tank
fill is located left front. 5" The booster tank
is also equipped with a fully removable top fastened with Cadmium
plated bolts on 5" centers extending through the top, sealing gasket
and the flange around outer perimeter of the tank, outside of the
water chamber. The tank and the complete apparatus conform to the
requirements of N.F.P.A. Pamphlet No. 19, Article entitled "Carrying
Capacity" specifying loads on the front and rear axles in keeping
with the G.V.W. rating of the chassis.

INTRODUCTION
~Iodern fire fighting techniques require the use of specialized equipment mounted on a powerful and dependable
truck chassis that can reach the scene of a fire as quickly as possible. For this reason, more and more fire depart-
mcnts are selecting Ford Trucks for all of their fire fighting needs.
The recommended specifications for the truck chassis and fire fighting equipment are published by the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and approved by the International Association of Fire Chiefs. The NFPA
does not approve, inspect or certify any chassis or engine model. A qualified laboratory such as the Underwriter's
Laboratories, Inc. determines the acceptability of the pump and associated components for each fire fighting
vehicle manufactured by conducting and certifying the tests prescribed by the NFP A.
NATIONIAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION REQUIREMENTS
Following are excerpts from "Specifications for Motor Fire Apparatus (NFP A No. 19-1967)", copyrighted by

the same as that used in selecting any other type of chassis equipped with a specialized body.
ESTIMATE THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT
The total weight of the vehicle must be estimated to
determine the approximate Gross Vehicle Wcight.
l<'rom the bid specifications or from the local fire chief,
it can be determined what type body and equipment is
required and if there is a preferencc for a particular fire
apparatus manufacturer's equipment.
With this information, the body and equipment weight
can be determined by contacting the fire apparatus
manufacturer since all must conform to the National
Fire Protection Association Specifications No. 19. All
of these manufacturers know what equipment is
required and the approximate weight of the equipment
specified. Using the weight obtained from the fire appa-
ratus manufacturer and the "Maximum Body and Pay-
load Allowance" shown in the "Ford Truck Series
Specifications" chart on pages 6 and 7 of this brochure,
the correct Ford chassis can be selected.
Remember that "Body and Payload Allowance" shown
SELECTING A CAB STYLE
The next step in the recommended procedure is to
select the best cab style to meet the local fire depart-
ments operating requirements. In many cases, fire
chiefs havc a strong preference for a particular cab
style but, there are advantages and disadvantages
associated with each typc and it may be well to point

The Ford F -Series sheetmetal
design is slightly different on
the heavy duty 800 and up
and all T-Series but the basic
advantages of these true con-
ventional cab models are the
same. Proven ability, low ini-
tial cost, easy cab entry and
egress, ready engine access
and excellent maneuverability
are the most important rea-
sons for the popularity of
Ford's true conventional F

is for the shortest wheelbase Ford Truck, equipped for
maximum GVW. If the body and payload weight sup-
plied by the apparatus manufacturer is close to the
allowance shown in the chart, it is recommended that
the next larger Ford Truck series be selected. This will
provide a safety factor so that when the correct wheel-
base and required chassis equipment add weights are
included, the actual GVW will not exceed the maxi-
mum GVW of the series. This procedure can be used
to select the proper truck chassis for use with all types
of fire apparatus except pumpers. When the apparatus
is equipped with a pump, the power required to operate
the pump is the prime consideration. The "Procedure
for Selecting the Proper Engine for Pumper Applica-
tions" is shown on pages 4 and 5. After the engine has
been selected for the pumper application, the smallest
Ford Truck Series with that engine available, either
standard or optional, should be selected as it will nor-
mally have an adequate GVW rating available for the
application.
these out. Ford is the only major chassis manufacturer
that offers three cab styles which blanket the total
GVW range of models used in the fire fighting industry.
These eab styles are the F & T -Series, true eonventional;
N & NT-Series, true short-conventional and C & CT-
Series, tilt eab. The advantages of caeh of these cab
styles are:
The Ford N and NT -Series, short-
conventional cab models, are particu-
larly well suited to fire fighting service.
The same sized equipment is normally
mounted on both conventional and
short-conventional cab models with
comparable CA dimensions but be-
cause of the N-Series shorter front
bumper to back of cab design, the
overall length is reduced by up to 16%
inches and the wheelbase by up to 11
inches compared to conventional
model trucks. This shorter overall
length is of importance to those fire
departments with limited garage space.
Shorter wheelbases allow more weight
transfer to the front axle for increased
hody and payload capacity and, they
permit turning circle diameters which
are unmatched in the industry.

The Ford C and CT -Series, tilt cab
models, because of their low mounted
cab and setback front axle, make an
ideal chassis for mounting fire fighting
apparatus. Their widespread use by
fire departments throughout the coun-
try is proof of their dependability and
durability in this type service. With a
bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) of only
82.5 inches, these models are short in
overall length, up to 23 inches shorter
than most conventionals and up to 9.5
inches shorter than most short-con-
ventionals, providing excellent park-
ability and taking up less space at the
scene of a fire. The set-back front axle
design of the C-Series allows greatest
weight transfer to the front axle for
ideal weight distribution and excellent
maneuverability.
CHOOSING IHE PROPER CAB-TO-AXLE DIMENSION
The manufacture of fire fighting equipment and its
installation on a truck chassis is a highly specialized
industry due to the requirements specified by the
National Fire Protection Association. The manufac-
turers of this equipment know what cab-to-axle (CA)
dimension is required to provide the best weight distri-
bution with their equipment on any Ford Truck chas-
sis. Generally, the recommended CA is the same for all
manufacturers. However, all of the fire equipment
manufacturers invited to bid on a particular piece of
equipment should be consulted for their recommended
CA and equipment weight distribution.
SERIES SELECTION AND WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION EXAMPLE
BID REOUIRI:MENTS
The local fire department has issued an invitation to
bid on a new piece of fire apparatus. The vehicle must
conform to the" Specifications for Motor Fire Apparatus
(NFPA No. 19.-1967)" for the following type unit:
· 750 gallon-per-minute, mid-ship mounted, pump.
. 500 gallon booster tank.
. The above equipment is to be mounted on a con-
ventional type commercial truck chassis.
BODY AND EOUlPMENT WEIGHTS AND CENTERS OF GRAVITY
The local fire fighting equipment manufacturers pro-
vide the following information:
. The required chassis CA for mounting the speci-
fied equipment is 102 inches.
. The pump, body and standard equipment weighs
5200 pounds. Its center-of-gravity is 18 inches
ahead of the rear axle centerline.
. The 500 gallon booster tank with water weighs
5150 pounds. It can be adjusted fore or aft to pro-
vide the best weight distribution, depending on
the chassis furnished. In this case, the center-of-

Based on this information and the chart shown on
pages 6 and 7, the correct chassis can be selected. The
chart shows that the smallest conventional (F- Series)
PRELIMINARY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
gravity is 42 inches ahead of the rear axle center-
line.
. The total weight of the required hose, hose reels
and personnel is 3500 pounds. The weight of the
equipment and personnel is positioned on the
body, by the apparatus manufacturer, in such a
manner that the total effective weight is on the
rear axle.
· The manufacturer also states, based on his expe-
rience, that the Ford 391 cubic inch engine is
required to meet the performance tests.
Ford available with the 391 cubic inch engine is the
750. A 102 inch CA dimension is available on the F-750
with a 174 inch wheelbase.
The "Ford Truck Data Book" shows that the base vehicle weight of the 174 inch wheelbase, F-750 model is 3620-
lbs. front, 2615-llbs. rear and 6235-lbs. total. By placing these weights and dimensions in the weight distribution
diagram shown below, the total GVW, front axle and rear axle loadings can be determined.

o Hose, hose reels & personnel 3500 3500
5400 Total 14,685 20,085
Note: The procedure for distributing the body, equipment and
water weights to front and rear axles is as follows: multiply the
total weight of the equipment item by the distance the center-of-
gravity for that item is ahead of the rear axle centerline and then
divide by the wheelbase. This weight is then subtracted from the
total weight to determine the portion transferred to the rear axle.
Because this preliminary weight distribution is based
on standard cab and chassis weights without including
any optional chassis equipment that may be specified
or required, it is likely that the standard 5500-lb. front
axle will not have adequate capacity and the optional
6000-lb. front axle will have to be specified. The 17,500-
lb. standard rear axle has ample capacity for this appli-
cation. With these axles, the maximum GVW rating is
23,OOO-lbs. A final weight distribution will have to be
prepared after all of the optional chassis items have
been selected to meet the specifications.

PROCEDURE FOR SELECTING THE PROPER
The majority of fire fighting equipment purchased today is equipped with a pump. A unit may bc specified with
a pump alone or in combination with other types of fire fighting equipment. There are two types of centrifugal
fire pumps in general use - the single stage with one impeller and the two-stage, series-parallel with two impel-
lers. These pumps are rated in five capacities: 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 gallons per minute, and are mounted
in the driveline in combination with a full power, split-shaft PTO. This type of mounting is called a "midship mount-
ing". Another type of pump in general use is the front mounted, single-stage centrifugal. This type pump is pow-
ered by a front mounted crankshaft PTO and is available in two capacities: 500 and 750 gallons per minute. Light
duty trucks equipped with a front mounted pump and a booster tank can be used for fighting fires on the run.
They can also be used as a stationary pump to draw water from natural sources like ponds and streams.
OPERATION OF THE TWO-STAGE, SERIES-PARALLEL CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
The most popular pumps for heavy and extra-heavy
fire trucks are the midship mounted, centrifugal two-
stage, series-parallel pumps. All centrifugal pumps
depend upon speed to accomplish their work - faster
speeds provide increased water volume and pressure.
The two-stage, series-parallel pumps incorporate two
impellers which, through a valving and piping arrange-
ment, can be operated in series or parallel. In parallel
operation, the incoming water is divided and is pulled
through each impeller to obtain the desired volume
NFPA PUMP REOUlREMENTS
The NFP A specifications require that all two-stage,
series-parallel pump installations deliver the percent-
age of the rated capacity shown below at the pressures
indica ted:
10071:, of rated capacity at 150 psi net pump pressure.
707<: of rated capacity at 200 psi net pump pressure.
507c of rated capacity at 250 psi net pump pressure.
The engine shall be capable of developing 10% more
power than required to pump rated capacity at rated
pressure. This will be demonstrated by pumping:
and pressure. It is then returned to a header for dis-
charge. In series operation, all of the incoming water
is pulled through one impeller and then the water is
routed to the second impeller which further increases
the pressure to the desired rate in the discharge
header. The net effect is that in parallel the pump
delivers a greater volume of water but at a reduced
pressure whereas in scrics operation it delivers water
under greater pressure but the volume is less at the
same pump RPM.
100';; of rated capacity at Hl5 psi net pump pressure.
The engine shall be able to pump the capacities shown
above under all conditions. However, the purchaser
must specify if the pump is to be expected to deliver
rated capacity and pressure at an elevation of over 1000
feet. The KFP A specifications state that: "The power
generated by naturally aspirated internal combustion
engines decrease about :P/~7r for each 1000 feet eleva-
tion above sea level." This power loss must be consid-
ered when selecting an engine for use in high altitudes.

FORD ENGINES AVAILABLE FOR
The charts below indicate the basic specifications of Ford's line of gasoline and diesel engines
for fire apparatus applications. The engine availability, by truck series, is shown on pages 6 and 7.

gal pump is directly proportional to the speed at which
it is operatcd, the pump drive ratio must be matched
to engine rpm. The second major area is that the
engine must develop sufficient horsepower to drive the
pump at the required speed.
Before selecting or recommending a Ford engine for
any pumping application, a fire apparatus manufac-
turer or a pump manufacturer should be contacted.
Thesc manufacturers, based on their experience, know
which Ford engine is required with their equipment to
meet a specific application. Two of the leading pump
manufacturers in the industry publish charts which
GENERAL DATA FOR TWO-STAGE. SERIES-PARALLEL. MIDSHIP-MOUNTED FIRE PUMPS
show the pump speed and net horsepower required to
meet the pumping specifications. Each of these manu-
facturers have several different pump models and
ratios available to permit tailoring their pumps to
current gas and diesel engine offerings to meet all
NFP A pumping requirements.
The chart below shows the average pump speed and
net horsepower required based on information fur-
nished by these pump manufacturers. It is included
here only as a guide in making tentative selections and
is not intended for use on specific applications.
The net horsepower shown in the chart is the actual
power required at the pump. This horsepower cannot
be read directly from any net engine performance curve
because of the many variables involved. Some factors
that reduce the net horsepower rating of an engine
that must be considered when determining the actual
horsepower avaiilable for a specific application are:
· Transmission-deduct up to 5% for manual types
and up to 10% for automatics.
FIRE APPARATUS APPUCATIONS
· Temperature-l % for each 100 over 600 F.
· Altitude-31h% for each 1000 feet of elevation.
· Plus additional losses in the pump drive.
Because of these variables, pump manufacturers nor-
mally calculate the available net horsepower by sub-
tracting a fixed percentage for these power losses,
usually 15 to 30 percent, from the gross horsepower.
power is shown at 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of the engine "Full Load" governor setting. The esti-
mated horsepower available at the pump, based on subtracting 15% and 30% from the avail-
able gross horsepower for engine accessory and driveline losses is shown in the last two columns.

AVAILABLE SPECIAL ORDER OPTIONS
The specialized nature of the fire fighting industry affects the chassis manufacturer as well as the fire equipment
manufacturer. :l\Iany of the required items or special equipment items specified by individual fire departments
can only be furnished by the chassis manufacturers.
To fill these needs, many special equipment items have been specifically engineered for Special Order or :l\Iodi-
fication Center installation. The most popular of these items, with the specific model availability, are shown
below and on the facing page.
AXlE-ENGINE-TRANSMISSION COMBINATIONS
The use of the popular 534 SD V-8 engine in pumper
applications of up to 1250 gallons per minute is wide-
spread in the fire fighting industry. Although the 534
SD V-8 engine is offered RPO in the F-N-C-IOOO Series,
the GVW requirements for many pumper applica-
tions does not warrant the bidding of a 1000-Series
truck. To meet this demand, the 534 SD V -8 engine has
been engineered and is available in 850 and 950-series
trucks as shown in the following chart. These combina-
tions are offered with full warranty, at the indicated
GVW ratings, providing the order stipulates that the
vehicle will be used in fire truck service.

KNOW HOW
In our philosophy, the sale of fire protection
and safety equipment is more than a matter of
distributing merchandise. For this simple reason
the right choice of equipment, proper installa-
tion and efficient maintenance are iust as impor-
tant as .the equipment itself.
That' s why we emphasize the fact that our
company is an organization of specialists.
Our field representatives are trained and
experienced men, backed by our own engi-
neering staff as well as the engineers of our
suppliers.
Our repair facilities in each locality where
we operate are complete for requirements of
their respective areas, and we are manned by
skilled fire and safety equipment mechanics.
We regard every sale as an obligation to
fill the customer/ s real needs, and not simply to
fill an order . . . . we consider every Service
Contract as a sacred trust.
