Snorkels and the FDNY

[firebuffkevin]

New York City tested a Snorkel in 1959. It was a Pittman Snorkel on a Ford chassis.
I saw it myself, and I found a picture of the test on e-bay.

Please post the picture.

Not a snorkel but an early TL prototype on a Mack chassis being evaluated by FDNY.                                                                          http://fdnyrant.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=history&action=display&thread=8424&page=2
