Having thrown out the original print of the photograph I wasn't quite sure what this vehicle was. It appeared to have a vertical rear transverse engine ...unusual in single-deck buses. Might it be a Daimler Fleetline with single-deck bodywork? It was to that invaluable resource Bus Lists on the Web (http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/) that I turned. Here it was given as a Daimler SRL6, which would make it a Daimler Roadliner with Leyland engine I think. Fleetlines were CRG6 weren't they? Have I got this right? The grille and access flap certainly look like those of a rear transverse engine. Was the Roadliner so equipped? It seems perverse to provide a single-deck vehicle with an engine configuration that was undesirable from an engineering point of view, but necessary in double-deck vehicles for height-saving reasons. Bodywork was by Willowbrook. The vehicle was snapped at Northampton on Thursday 17th January 1980.
Palo Alto Fire Department responded to a two alarm fire at a residence on Loma Verde Ave following a fire that started in the rear garage/auto shop of a very crowded house. The resident was reluctant to leave feeling he had the situation under control, despite the rear of the premises being fully engulfed in flames. He was eventually rescued from the premises and transported to hospital. The fire had unusually large amounts of fuel both inside and outside the building, with neighboring houses very close to the structure there was a significant exposure threat.
In 2009 Palo Alto replaced 6 of their front line engines with new Pierce pumpers built on the Arrow XT chassis. Engines 1 through 6 are all new engines. The 7th engine based at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Fire Station is funded separately through federal dollars and wasn't replaced as part of this purchase.

2009 Ford Focus Electric Electric Motor: AC, permanent magnet, 105 kilowatt, 141 horsepower
Ford previewed its entry into the electric vehicle market with this car specially built for The Jay Leno Show. The sizable AC/
DC inverter dominates the space under
the hood, with the electric motor mostly hidden underneath. Note the large fan at front, to keep the motor cool. Also note the prominent “Caution” decal on the inverter. Modern automobile power plants are better than ever, but the days of the shade tree mechanic may be gone for good! Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford
Lots of fire trucks and firemen at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital this morning. It looked like a portion of the building was evacuated, or at least there were a lot of people milling about on the sidewalk. No fire or sense of urgency by the firemen as far as I could tell.

Burner on left sends a gentle flame towards cylinder: valve opens at top dead centre, piston descends, flame sucked in, valve closes, vacuum forms, sucking the piston back. Works, but a little tempramental, to put it mildly.
I had a blown head gasket, so i pulled the engine to make that easier. I had teh transmission rebuilt while the engine was out. I replaced all the suspension bushings, new lowered springs, shocks, and brake rotors.

Here is the engine compartment the day i bought the car...it is the original 289, bored .030 over .010 crank and main turn, runs good, needs some gaskets and valve seals...
