Für den König der Hydranten Daniel, der im Urlaub mir gegenüber so geduldig war und ganz besonders weil er am vorigen Wochenende extra nach Franken kam :-))
Per il re degli idranti Daniel, che in vacanza è stato così paziente con me e in particolare per essere venuto apposta in Franconia lo scorso finesettimana :-))

Carlsbad, CA.
In the early 1920s, Jones worked with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power to custom design the service brass which later became a standard part of the Jones product line. During both World War I and World War II, Jones supplied water, gas and steam valves for the Navy’s battleships and destroyers. In 1926, Jones built it’s first bronze fire hydrant at the request of the Fire Chief of Monrovia, California.
Although Jones was not the first company to market a wet barrel hydrant, it was the first to cast a wet barrel hydrant in bronze. Jones turned the use of bronze into a marketing advantage, selling the product based upon the long term benefits of bronze over iron. For example, the City of Beverly Hills replaced one of the first Jones hydrants (believed to have been installed in 1926) after over 60 years of service.
The Jones bronze wet barrel hydrant remains the preferred fire hydrant in most parts of California.
