Model T day today
Jim Rodell put together a Bells and Whistles tour for us today. We stopped at a fire museum, Oktoberfest for lunch, an Octagonal barn, and train rides.
Weather was great and we all had fun. This fire engine was a Know 1912. They basically dropped an engine on top of a carriage. Ring the bell anyone? Just like a Model K engine block Ahrens Where are the horses?

Re: Model T day today
Brent, it also has the original Milwaukee fire alarm system in working condition - where you had a red box you opened and pulled the alarm.
Wisconsin is a great place to live. Lake Michigan keeps us warm and dumps the snow on Michigan.
1920 is the year of the ALF
Boxes
Four wheel drive started in Clintonville (Livengood I think was the name)

Re: Model T day today
Those boxes are really neat. A local fireman, retired out on a fire-related injury for years
(poor guy was messed up) had a nice, complete Gamewell box on the wall in his garage. I
mildly tried to buy it from him, but it meant a lot to him, so I did not push it. Many years
later, I was doing some maintenance work a few blocks away from where the old guy lived,
and saw his red 69 MGB in an open garage, with a couple oldsters sitting there in lawn chairs
in the garage beside it. I approached and asked if the car was Dick's. They said "yes" and the
guy told me Dick was his brother. I asked what ever became of the call box Dick had, and
they gave it to me ! .... said they wanted to get it to someone who appreciated that kind
of thing. I have a LOT of Spokane Fire and Police alarm system hardware and was thrilled to
hang Dick's old box in my shop with the rest of the stuff. Dick was a cool old guy and knowing
it was special to him only adds to the appreciation.
