In 1913, the International Association of Fire Engineers (now the International Association of Fire Chiefs) held their 41st annual conference in New York City. One component of the event was a competition for the newly developed motorized pumper. On September 3 at 6:30 a.m., the 12-hour pump test began with 11 pieces of apparatus competing. A length of hard suction hose was used by each engine to draft water from the Hudson River. Overall performance of the equipment was determined by using a point system. The motor had to remaining running during the complete 12-hour test period. Apparatus from the following companies began the event. Ahrens-Fox American LaFrance - Two units Knox Luietweiler Nott - Two units Robinson - Two units Seagrave Waterous Eight of the engines completed the test. The Luietweiler, one Nott and one Robinson failed. The Ahrens-Fox earned the highest score. In addition to this information, I have added notes to the other photos in this grouping. In this photo: One of the Robinsons is pumping. Most fire apparatus of this era were equipped with hard rubber tires.

The parade was for the unveiling of the Fireman's memorial on the site at 100th Street and Riverside Drive, and on Sept. 5, 1913, 10,000 people assembled for the unveiling. Four girls -- Margaret Dow, 10, May Boyne, 12, Florence Walsh, 11, and Mary Connolly, 10 -- took down two large United States flags that covered the monument. All four were daughters of firemen killed in the line of duty.

The unveiling of the memorial was a national event, which attracted delegations of visiting firemen from all over the U.S.
