The Fifer New Holloway Tanks.
The accompanying cut illustrates a new improvement in chemical fire engine tanks brought out by The Combination Ladder company. The two new special features being the Siphon tube or discharge pipe by the use of a packing hut, and locking device can be taken out, and replaced without destroying the integrity of the tank, or removing its head, and by this manner of construction it does away with the contingency heretofore existing of leakage, thus increasing the value of its service, and affording an easy and economical way of charging or repairing Siphon tubes. Also the new Fifer Head which in its instantaneous operation gives quicker service; it does away with hunting for wrenches to remove threaded caps. These two features have made the Fifer Head tank a popular tank, and a most valuable tank for automobile and combination chemical service. The fact that they are being specified is a testimonial to the genius of Mr. George Fifer. who has developed this new improvement from a life long knowledge and experience in chemical engine tanks and construction.
