Officially it's called a Roto Ray. These were popular a number of decades ago and are back in fashion in several Eastern US states: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia. DC has some too.

The famous Ahrens-Fox pumpers of Rotterdam had them originally.

When I was a kid in Philadelphia in the late 40s and 50s, all the Philadelphia trucks had Roto Rays.

There's some nice commentary at tinyurl.com/roto-ray
