That was the transmission that was in our Navistar 2500 Gallon tandem axle water tanker when I was on local VFD. I managed to learn how to drive it; the secret was to not get in a hurry, the transmission would tell you when it wanted to be shifted. A friend showed me how nice it was to shift to High/Lo, to go around a corner, without splitting back to 4. Oops, I was talking about 9-speed.
Our pumper was a GMC 427 gasser with a 5-speed and 2-speed rear end. I was better with it.

Face to Face with Death: The Man Who Photographed Chernobyl’s Elephant’s Foot 
In 1996, Artur Korneyev descended into the dark underworld of Reactor No. 4—not to escape, but to confront one of the most lethal creations in human history.
Beneath the ruins of Chernobyl’s exploded reactor lies the Elephant’s Foot, a grotesque mass of melted nuclear fuel, concrete, and steel formed during the catastrophic meltdown of April 1986. So radioactive in its early days, it could kill a person in minutes.
The image Korneyev captured is haunting—not just for its grainy, spectral quality, but because it records the quiet horror of man-made disaster. As a radiation specialist, Korneyev was one of the first to enter the reactor’s core. He stood before this toxic relic so future generations could understand the stakes of nuclear failure.
Though time has cooled its fury, the Elephant’s Foot remains a deadly monument to the cost of human error and unchecked ambition.
