Most likely TL 34, forgot about them as the 3rd south Tower

@LFD 543: As from what I’ve seen, the hyphens have been used just for the last 10-15 years and only on some of the special rigs, so I wouldn’t say that they’re a CFD tradition really. If you look at the older rigs (or simply the majority of rigs) you wouldn’t see them marked this way, not even the special apparatus.

My question is…not to nitpick or anything….but, why are there no hyphens on the rigs where their aren’t any?
For example: 2-7-5, 5-7-1, 6-3-9.
I know it’s not a big deal and I won’t lose sleep over it, but to me those rigs are just “missing something,” it’s part of CFD tradition in my opinion. It makes it appear that you’d say “Two seventy-five” over the radio, instead of “Two-Seven-Five.”
I know there are rigs from the past without the hyphens, but I can only ask about the current rigs; the past is over.

TL34 maybe? Also, Squad 5A and Reserve Snorkel 1 (6-6-1) were working.
