Your Questions. Here we go :-



The first Magirus revolving ladder fire vehicle, was mounted on a chassis made by John Morris and Sons and was supplied to Cape Town in 1906.
The car manufacturer Morris did not start until 1912, in Oxford. ( I have driven past the place loads of times)
John Morris & Sons were based in Salford , near Manchester.
The manufacturer of the Petrol engine has never been confirmed to the best of my knowledge.... but I expect DD is going to tell me it was Bedford ?
Magirus are still the largest manufacturer of Fire Engine equipment in the world.

How did I do ?

Hi RS , #1 yes you are right but from there on you so far the truth it sounds to me I might have you stumped . Dave

I think Mack or its subsidiary would be the largest manufacturer of fire apparatus in the world.. Jeff.

Hi Roland, I think your correct as I've tried to find the info I'm looking for, and it appears Mack has'nt produced fire fighting appliances for quite awhile. I do know that with their subsidiary, Ahrens Fox, they were for a period one of the largest producers in the world. Regards Jeff.
