A "wow" moment for me too. About 10 years ago I purchased at a farm auction a Bickle Seagrave trailer pump in Wiarton, Ontario. I have the documentation around here somewhere but the federal government had about thousand of these produced for the ARP - Air Raid Precautions in '42. I'm still in the learning curve but I'm pretty sure it's the same flathead that's in a carrier attached to a 450 GPM pump. According what I have, this particular pump was posted to Galt, Ontario. Galt had a base for the Commonwealth Air Training Plan which I assumed this pump was used to protect. I suppose it could also have been used to protect Shurly Dietrich Atkins...

Small world.

I haven't done much work on the pump trailer but it's on the "to do" list.

Hopefully mine will be as nicely restored as this example that is in Victoria, BC
