    I use the tag Video tape recorder to identify the thing as a reel-to-reel, helical scan machine. Newer machines including uMatic and Beta would be tagged Video cassette recorder (or player) if you agree with my jargon.

    This is a good view of the tank and pump on Plant Protection's Ford F-series vehicle. This seems to be a Food Machinery Corporation (FMC) piston pump. It was made by FMC's Bean Division which also made agricultural spray rigs. The Bean Gun is a signature part of FMC fire equipment from the era.

    These pumps operated at hundreds of pounds per square inch and were known to push things around when aimed at them. They could cause injury if body parts go into the water stream near the nozzle.

    "The accident occurred at about 4 p.m [Tuesday, 9/11] in a chemical tank in which nitric acid and chronic acid were brewed and used to remove paint from metal grill structures."
