Four of the six have been answered correctly:







672. Cowboy fence mending tool

673. Fire truck control panel


Hate to get technical but that is not a fire truck. It is a Quint. A
true fire TRUCK doesn't have a pump. It may have a plumbed water line on
the ladder or up to the platform if it has one.
A Quint is kind of a jack of all trades type rig. It has a ladder
(usually under 75' and most are not plumbed). It has an on board water
tank and a pump that can supply enough water for the firefighters. They
also usually have rescue gear on board and can kind of function as a ane
stop type of rig. The problem is that they are not really set up to
handle each task as well as a dedicated type of unit can.

The panel in question is the main pump panel. If you want nore detail I
can even tell you what each control does on that panel. It's not our rig
but I have 4 different engines, tankers and once you get used to the
layouts of common items the rest is easy.



674. This is usually found in the kitchen.

675. Mouse trap

676. Egg scale

677. Similar devices were used by pharmacists, but the one in the

photo
appears to have been made for home use either in the kitchen or cellar
(though not used for pharmacological purposes).
