"No more Rac bn. Since been replaced by the Rehab Manager"... Did he get a pay raise because of the new title?

I think you are correct Parkave, L50 did have one of those 1955 FWD wooden arial ladders before they picked up a hand me down metal ladder from somewhere else. That's how they did it in those days, the busy companies got the new equipment and later on these rigs were shipped out to the...

NW or SE?

Your last two postings are absolutely great research and info. Thank you sig73.
