Tony Karsnia - Deceased - 1971-2020
September 12, 1971 - November 2, 2020
A discussion was begun about this topic in another thread, but since that was not the intended subject of that thread, I thought I'd continue with a new thread.
Richard Vyse was asking whether the roof box on my Lifeliner is original to the car, which it is. I've attached a photo here of how the box accomodates an aluminum scoop stretcher and a long backboard.
The question also arose about where to keep backboards and stretchers in ambulances not equipped with roof boxes. Interior spaces, such as side hooks and squad benches are common storage places.
In addition to the roof box, my Lifeliner is equipped with an apparatus along the left ledgeboard, next to the cot, that looks like it is for holding a board or stretcher of some kind. Can someone identify the intended purpose of it? Thanks.
