Kartni, what an incredible vehicle you have captured in your photographs, the business end of the rear-end pump has my attention, and I'm wondering about the hand reels, or whatever they are, , ??!!

What is the pump rated at?

The side mounted reels are for 70/75MM supply and attack hose. The rear pair are for 45/52MM attack lines, and the transverse reel at the rear looks like a 20/25MM "trash line", as this pumper has no first aid hose reels. Careful examination shows correspondingly-dimensioned pump outlets. Triangel pumps of this era included units which could deliver more than 3, 000 LPM, and this may be one. The suction looks like a 140/150MM tube, which would be the right size for this type of capacity. Apart from separating the crew from the OIC, it is a pretty advanced design for 1937!
