Item 45 of 55
Fire Engine - Roger Wallis
As shown in the June 1951 Meccano Magazine but with modifications.
Namely improving the steering linkage to improve the lock and arranging the tracking of the escape operating cord so that the escape remains at a constant extension regardless of the angle of elevation.
For the record: Roger modified the front axle by increasing the length from 3.5" to 4.5“.
The escape is built in two 18.5" sections extending to 3ft., the overall size of the chassis being approx. 18.5" x 5.5".
