Very nice and good-looking transitional design; open seating like a Braidwood, but actual bench for the crew as well as half doors. Much safer and more comfortable than a Braidwood pumper! These started turning up in the early thirties in several countries, but soon gave way to enclosed units - except in many warm and sunny climates where open seating often lasted decades longer.

Note that the lockers still were not the full depth type adopted on most designs shortly afterwards. Presumably the hose and equipment load was so light that the potential extra space and accommodations just weren't deemed useful?
