Interesting preconnected suction hose stowage solution. Not very elegant, but it looks like it worked.

Also - note the twin spare tyres. Early pneumatics were a bit puncture-prone, especially when they were being used on streets which were still frequented by dray horses, who tended to cast off horseshoe nails all too often. I wonder how many times the crew had to change a tyre en route to an incident?
