  The white balls on Engine 12R were for Halon.

  The rig was a 1975 Oshkosh/Bean/FMC

  Those white balls appear plumbed to the hose reel inside the cover with the lettters BEAN on it. They are likely foam and Purple K dry chemical making up a Twin Agent unit.

  Very nice.
  Those low pro SEAGRAVE’s always stood out. I wonder if there were ever pumper versions of those?
