What's with the station location table? (31 March 2017)

Not sure what's supposed to be there, but that column heading referencing the Chaplain can't be correct! And I'm drawing a blank as to what the numbers in that column for each station are supposed to represent... — Preceding unsigned comment added by CamouflageChili (talk • contribs) 09:12, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Abresch Co.

This article on the Milwaukee based Charles Abresch Co. mentions the two fires that the company suffered in April, 1898, and December, 1902.

It also mentions the first chemical truck of the MFD, acquired in 1911. This probably was the only Abresch-Cramer fire truck built. Details are lacking, and I wonder if there is a picture of the truck. The article cites the January 28, 1911 issue of Automobile Topics as follows:

“Milwaukee's Chemical Truck

“Because of the strained condition of the treasury at Milwaukee, Wis., the request of Fire Chief T. A. Clancy for a motor fire steamer has been laid over until next year. The apparatus is desired for use in the residence districts, where stations are far between.

“Although the chief and the first assistant chief have been granted touring cars for official duty, the first real motor fire apparatus in Milwaukee has just been placed in service. It is an Abresch-Cramer combination hose and chemical truck, built by the Abresch-Cramer Auto Truck Company, of Milwaukee, and cost about $5,000.”
