Period

Canada
This water pump was developped and manufactured in Canada. Canada has been a world leader in the development & testing of fire-fighting equipment. This pump is one of two Wajax Mk.2 pumps that was used by the Newfoundland and Labrador Forest Service, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Central's (CIFFC) Fire Resource Inventory (April 1996). Cette pompe à eau a été développé et fabriqué au Canada. Le Canada a été à l’avant-plan dans le développement et les analyses des équipements de luttes contre les incendies. Cette pompe est une des deux pompes Wajax Mk.2 qui ont été utilisés par les Services Forestiers de Terre-Neuve et Labrador selon le Centre Interservices des Feux de Forêt du Canada.
Function
Used to pump surface water to fight forest fires in remote locations. Utilisé pour propulser de l'eau pour combattre des feux de forêts dans des endroits éloignés.
Technical
This specific water pump demonstrates the evolution of the Wajax pumps.The Mark 2 model replaced the Mark 1 model in 1961. The carrying frame was the most significant change, by making it a triangular. The Mark 2 model was a more portable unit in the forest compared to the heavier Mark 1. The Mark 2 was eventually replaced by the Mark 2M. The Mark 2 model water pump was the last portable Wajax that was fitted with a float carburetor rather than an all-time position, diaphragm one. Cette pompe d’eau spécifique démontre l’évolution des pompes d’eau Wajax. Le modèle Mark 2 a remplacé le modèle Mark 1 en 1961. La bretelle de transport est le changement le plus important en le faisant triangulaire. Le modèle Mark 2 est le modèle le plus portable dans la forêt comparé au modèle Mark 1, plus lourd. Le modèle Mark 2 a éventuellement été remplacé par le Mark 2M. Le modèle Mark 2 est le dernier modèle Wajax avec un carburateur à niveau constant au lieu de la composition traditionnelle qui consiste d’une membrane.
