jaapv Posted May 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) The only town in Europe to use these machines was Rotterdam. There were seven of them and those were probably the only ones to have seen service in WWII in war circumstances, during the bombardment of Rotterdam, sixty years ago today. The centre of the town was flattened and over 800 died. My homage: M9, Elmarit 28/2.8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveleo Posted May 16, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 16, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jaap great photos of a very interesting truck. . . . glad to see the various views of it. that must be the water pump at the front of the engine (driven off the engine ?) . . . and that shiny ball on top must be an accumulator (with air inside to soften the water "hammer") . . . . . do you know? this is in a museum or sorts?

msk2193 Posted May 16, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 16, 2010 Great images as always Jaap. Beautifully restored examples that would make many collector quite jealous! The N S 2 model is quite popular amongst collectors on this side of the ocean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for the nice comments This one is in the national fire brigade museum here in Hellevoetsluis. The shiny ball is a air compensating chamber to equalize the uneven pressure the pump produces. It is fully functional and they use it for demonstrations from time to time. However the fuel consumption is about a gallon to the mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
