Beschreibung:

1906 horse-drawn steam fire engine. The water is pumped onto the fire by a double-acting onboard steam engine. Steam could be raised to working pressure from cold water in 10 minutes, while travelling to the fire. Coal for the boiler was kept in the bunker below the front axle. Used privately on the Duke of Beaufort’s estate, at Badminton, near Bristol, Gloucestershire, England (In 2007 the Bristol Industrial Museum was permanently closed for conversion to the Museum of Bristol. The exhibits are in storage.)
