Arson fire 90 years ago leads to MLB in Seattle

If we told you the Seattle Mariners were sparked from an actual spark, would you know the story? If we told you the fire of a fanbase was rooted in an actual fire, would you know who to thank? You have to go back 90 years ago to July 4, 1932. "Not a lot of people I think are aware of it now," Seattle baseball historian Dave Eskenazi said.

Extended Front Bumpers–Part 1

By Bill Adams

Front bumper extensions on custom cabs and chassis vary from 6-inches to more than 24-inches from the cab fascia. They’re usually the width of, or slightly wider, than the outside cab width. A 100-inch-wide-by-24-inch extended front bumper has about 16 square feet of space—prime real estate to mount easily accessible equipment. The usable deck surface (aka apron) depends upon the bumper configuration and the manufacturer’s method of construction.

A variety of configurations was on display at a recent trade show. Judgment is not made on designs or equipment caried. The intent is to illustrate how some are laid out. What works in Phoenix might not work in Poughkeepsie or Providence.

Manufacturers have preferred designs; however, most will customize a layout. The features shown are not proprietary. Not every vendor is accommodating when discussing designs and availability. Some may peddle whatever is easiest and might not offer alternatives. Don’t hesitate in asking questions—you write the check.

In this narration, deck means the bumper’s flat, usable surface. Q is a mechanical siren. Steamers are suction inlets piped 4-inch or larger regardless of thread size or intended purpose. Most steamers terminate with NST threads sized to the pump’s rated capacity. All elbows are swiveling.  A preconnect is any diameter hose less than 2½-inch that has 1½-inch NST couplings supplied by at least 2-inch piping.
